Following consultation with the university communication earlier this year, Macquarie has now launched our Access and Inclusion Plan 2020-2023.

The plan outlines our actions and commitments to support staff and students with disability at Macquarie.

Developed through engagement with the Macquarie community and in consultation with external disability advisors (Australian Network on Disability), the plan builds on our progress to date and identifies actions in four key focus areas to strengthen our culture of diversity and inclusion:

• Culture: accessibility and inclusion should be meaningfully integrated within our culture, strategies, policies, processes and communications.
• Access: our physical and digital environments must be accessible, safe and dignified.
• Learning and Teaching: provide a stronger, more consistent and connected approach to supporting students with disability.
• Employment: provide an environment that is flexible and adaptive to support individual requirements, so that all staff can progress and achieve.
