Visibility in Pride

Visibility in Pride as a network is a commitment to building a Faculty where every LGBTQIA+ person feels seen, supported, and valued.

The ViP program has been designed with three core purposes:

1. Creating spaces where LGBTQIA+ staff and graduate researchers feel genuinely welcome, and where diverse identities are celebrated as a strength of our Faculty.
2. Offering a safe space for peer connection and informal mentoring, a place to share experiences, and support one another within MDHS and across the University of Melbourne.
3. Supporting the career advancement of LGBTQIA+ staff and graduate researchers and helping to build a more inclusive culture across health sciences research and practice.

ViP will offer regular events, peer mentoring opportunities, and a growing community of people committed to making MDHS a more visible and inclusive place for everyone.

Return to Self: Supporting Trans Colleagues and Students

The University of Melbourne has launched Return to Self, a new video and podcast series that explores gender affirmation through the lived experiences of three trans people.

Designed as a self-paced learning resource, the series offers practical guidance to help build understanding and confidence in supporting trans colleagues and students. Users can watch the videos, listen to the podcast episodes or read the transcripts, making the resource accessible across different learning preferences.
