Queer Department

SRC 2009: Queer OfficersThe Queer Department is a service for all lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and otherwise queer identifying students of UNSW. The word queer has been used as an all-inclusive term and the department recognises that not all students prefer this label, or any at all.

The Queer Department is willing to help students with many concerns relating to their sexuality including:

  • Information about queer specific counselling services
  • Social functions and spaces which allow networking, friendships and relationships
  • Information for parents of queer students to help support their child
  • Information for queer students who encounter financial hardship or the like
  • A safe space on campus for all queer students to meet each other and gather resources
  • Political campaigns to help foster a more diverse and accepting society based on equal rights.

Queer Space

The Queer Space, located in Room 920, on Level 9 of the Applied Sciences Building (Map Ref F10), provides a space for the gay, lesbian and intersex community on campus to feel safe. It also serves as the primary venue for Queer/GLBT Collective meetings and activities.

The highlight of student involvement in the Queer Collective is when we get to see the smiles of people who have found new friendships, love and a solid base of people they can trust and depend on.

Collective membership is completely free and those who consider attending should first consider:

  • The Queer Space is a safe space free of ostracism, discrimination and/or prejudice. Members of the collective do however reserve the right to challenge views in a non-threatening and sensitive way.
  • All socialising associated with the Queer Department encourages members to respect other students’ privacy. Facilitators of functions are advised not to address students physically outside the space unless it has the consent of the student/s in question.
