At Johnston Institute, we are committed to providing an inclusive learning environment and ensuring equitable access to education for all students. We foster an inclusive environment that values diversity in background, identity, ability, culture and experience.
Our Diversity and Equity Policy
To ensure prospective and enrolled students can make informed decisions about their educational experiences, we maintain a comprehensive Diversity and Equity Policy. This policy is designed to eliminate barriers to access, participation, and success, including for students with disability, health conditions, caring responsibilities or other special needs.
We encourage all prospective students to review this policy prior to enrolment to understand their rights and the support available to them.
