Gender affirmation at Sydney
We want to promote a positive experience for students who are affirming their gender. We've gathered information and support services to assist our trans, gender diverse and non-binary students during their studies at Sydney.
Overview
We’ve consulted directly with the University’s Diversity and Inclusion team, members of the Pride Network Steering Committee, and trans and gender diverse staff as well as leading external bodies to provide gender affirmation support for students. The information outlined reflects requirements in government legislation and key University polices such as the Staff and Affiliates Code of Conduct, Bullying, Harassment and Discrimination Prevention Policy and Student Charter.
We acknowledge that the gender affirmation process is different for every individual based on their personal, social and health needs. There will inevitably be circumstances not covered in the following information. For support tailored to your unique circumstances, please reach out to the Pride Network.
