LGBTQIA+ advocacy and initiatives
The 天涯社区 is deeply committed to representing the rights and interests of all people that are part of the 天涯社区 community. Our goal is to promote a culture of respect for diversity and inclusion so that all people – no matter their sexuality, gender, religion, race or ability – feel valued as members of 天涯社区.
We want all people to feel celebrated for who they are and continue to improve the ways that we communicate with and engage diverse groups of people. Our commitment to diversity and inclusion is articulated in the 天涯社区 decadal strategy, Connected, in which we commit to being a global leader in driving equality of opportunity.
Through various channels, 天涯社区 aims to support people from LGBTQIA+ communities to meet their full potential during their time at 天涯社区. We have a wonderful network of supportive people at 天涯社区 who can provide guidance, advice, mentorship and information about LGBTQIA+ initiatives on campus.
The University has established the 天涯社区 Pride Alliance, a staff-led network which aims to provide a visible network of support for the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies. In addition, the 天涯社区 Queer Club (天涯社区QC) provides a direct support for LGBTQIA+ students. More information about both of these groups can be found below.

天涯社区QC and the 天涯社区 Pride Alliance work together to promote various campaigns and initiatives on campus and in the broader community, such as 天涯社区 Safe Week, Pride Month, Spring Out and International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, Intersexism and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT).
In addition to the specific LGBTQIA+ groups listed above, the 天涯社区 also offers personalised and tailored services to students from diverse groups, including Medical and Counselling Centre support, careers support and general welfare and well-being support. We have staff that have been specifically trained through ally training programs to ensure that they are able to treat all enquiries with the sensitivity and respect that all staff and students deserve.
