CHILDCARE
You can find childcare, kindergarten,
and after-school care facilities (all
independently operated) on or near
all UQ campuses: please contact an
International Student Advisor for advice
on your options.
Please note that free childcare is not
available and all centres have long waiting
lists. Unfortunately, priority is not given to
children of UQ students. Contact centres
directly (see table at left) to ask about
vacancies.
For a list of childcare centres across
Queensland go to

See page 59 about care for school-aged
children.

BEYOURSELF
DIVERSITY
With 45,000 students from 134 countries,
speaking 100+ languages, as well as
staff from all around the world, UQ fully
endorses equity and diversity.
Discrimination and harassment (including
bullying and sexual harassment) is unlawful
under State and Commonwealth Acts
and is against UQ policy. Under the
Anti-Discrimination Act Queensland it
is unlawful to discriminate on the basis
of sex, relationship status, pregnancy,
parental status, breastfeeding, age, race,
impairment, religious belief or religious
activity, political belief or activity, trade union
activity, lawful sexual activity, gender identity,
sexuality, family responsibilities, association
with, or relation to, a person identified on the
basis of any of the above attributes.
If you want to know more about UQ’s
policies, check the Student Grievance
section online via myAdvisor; ask at any
Student Centre; and/or consult with a
Discrimination and Harassment Contact Officer.
