Students identifying as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, intersex, questioning, queer (GLBTTIQQ)

The ALLY Network is an initiative of the Equal Opportunity Unit at Flinders University. It is designed to enhance university culture by creating a more welcoming and inclusive environment for members of the Flinders community who identify as gay, lesbian, bisexual, transsexual, transgender, intersex, questioning and queer (GLBTTIQQ).

Students with disabilities

Disability refers to any impairment, disability or medical condition that inhibits a student's access to education.

The Disability Liaison Officer (DLO) coordinates specific services that allow students with disabilities to access university study. The DLO can also provide advocacy on behalf of individual students or on disability issues that affect a number of students.
