The ICRAR-UWA Committee

Committee members are elected for 2 years, with about half of the positions renewed each year. After a two-year period, members are normally replaced by new voluntary members from ICRAR-UWA. If finding new members for the open positions turns out to be difficult, the membership of existing members can be renewed. An exception to this rule is the EXEC representative (Renu), who, by default, remains part of the committee to secure its long-term connection into the executive.

The ICRAR-UWA Wards

The DEI wards act as points of contact for anyone in ICRAR to approach (anonymously or in confidence) for consultation and information for raising grievances or concerns, e.g., if they feel discriminated against, unfairly treated, harassed, or otherwise uncomfortable because of the actions of a colleague, supervisor, or student.

The DEI Wards have the following purposes and objectives:
1. To direct employees to the sources of assistance provided by the University
2. If required, directly escalate information to relevant parties.
