Gender Equity in Research Policy
At Deakin we understand that being a researcher and a primary carer with responsibility for children, elderly or disabled relatives is often challenging. Delivering high-quality research outputs can be restricted by a reduced capacity to attend conferences or taking periods of extended leave.
Our gender equity programs seek to address some of the known barriers to career progression. This is by no means the end of our work. Through the SAGE Athena SWAN pilot and other initiatives we will continue to find ways to increase diversity. At the same time we will put in place policies and practices that provide support to people of different ethnicities, genders, sexualities, age, and disabilities to feel included and to achieve their goals.
Our programs include:
- Career Continuity in Research
- Vice-Chancellor’s Support Fund
- Achievement Relative to Opportunity
- Keeping Connected
For more information about these programs and how to apply, please visit our staff wiki page (login required).
