ANU Community Forum: Is ANU Family Friendly?

Is ANU family friendly? What is your experience? Join us for a discussion about ANU’s family friendly policies, and share your thoughts, challenges and hopes for making the university a more family-friendly environment. Facilitated by Professor Richard Baker, Pro Vice-Chancellor (University Experience), we invite input from all members of the ANU community – carers and non-carers, students and staff – to discuss and workshop issues that affect them: from parking to parenting facilities and childcare.

Date: Monday 20 August 2018

Time: 12 – 2pm (lunch provided)

Venue: The Common Room, University House, 1 Balmain Crescent Acton, ACT 2601

Hosted by: ANU Family Friendly Committee, PARSA and ANUSA.

The ANU Family Friendly Committee is an ANU group constituted under the ANU Gender Institute working closely with several committees, stakeholders and representatives across campus and from NTEU, ANUSA, PARSA, Childcare Centres and ANU Chancelry to help make ANU an inclusive, family friendly space and community. Family-friendliness is broadly defined and includes diverse dimensions of family life and responsibilities. Anyone in the ANU community (staff, students, academics) are welcome to join our committee and smaller working parties.
