Your voice matters. Take 10 minutes to help tackle racism in Australian universities.
We’re encouraging all students to take part in an important national survey looking at experiences of racism in Australian universities.
Led by the Australian Human Rights Commission, this research aims to better understand the nature, prevalence, and impact of racism across the higher education sector. The goal? To make real change. The findings will help inform policies, practices, and supports that improve the experiences of all students and staff, especially those from racially and culturally marginalised backgrounds.
Why Your Voice Matters
Whether you’ve personally experienced racism, witnessed it, or have insights to share, your input matters. The survey is open to all current students and staff at Australian universities, and your responses will be completely confidential.
This is your chance to contribute to a fairer, more inclusive future for higher education.
“This study is about understanding the reality of racism in our universities – so we can work together to change it.”
