Inclusiveness at UWA means that everyone has a sense of belonging and a fair opportunity to reach their full potential.

UWA develops and advances inclusiveness through its commitment to:

• race – through its commitment to cultural competence
• respecting gender and sexual diversity
• enabling flexibility
• promoting health and well-being.

Definition

The principle of taking personal and professional responsibility requires not only that people avoid doing harm to others but that they exhibit courteous behaviour upholding the standards expected of all members of the University community as part of achieving a common good. In so doing they are expected to protect the rights of others and respect the diversity of cultures and peoples. Those well-positioned to assert their rights have a reciprocal duty to exercise care towards those who depend on them for their well-being. This principle involves stewardship of assets, resources and the environment.

The UWA Code of Ethics and Code of Conduct

Therefore, inclusiveness means:

• avoid doing harm and uphold the standards expected at UWA for the common good
• protect the rights and well-being of others through effective leadership
• respect the diversity of cultures and peoples.
