UTS takes the rights of its students and staff seriously and is committed to eliminating discrimination and harassment in university study and work environments.
What is an equity-related complaint?
An equity-related complaint is when you believe you are being discriminated against or harassed in your work or study because of your:
- sex (including pregnancy),
- sexual preference,
- transgender status,
- race,
- colour,
- ethnic or ethno-religious background,
- descent or national identity,
- marital status,
- disability,
- age,
- political conviction, or
- religious belief.
Complaints that do not involve allegations of unlawful discrimination or harassment on one of the above grounds are non equity-related complaints.
