The ANU BIPOC Department acknowledges the traditional custodians of the land on which this survey is written and disseminated, the Ngunnawal and Ngambri peoples. We pay our respect to Elders, past and present, and extend this respect to all Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are living and working on stolen land. Sovereignty was never ceded. First Nations justice and 'land back' must remain at the forefront of our efforts to mitigate racism at the Australian National University.

Content Warning: This survey contains questions about racism, religious discrimination, other forms of harassment, and institutional betrayal. If you need mental health support, please contact ANU Student Safety and Wellbeing, or the ANU Wellbeing and Support Line at 1300 050 327. Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people may contact 13 YARN to access the national crisis support line for mob. If at any point you would like to discuss your options about making a disclosure or report regarding an experience of racism, please contact the BIPOC Officer at sa.bipoc@anu.edu.au. You are not alone - support is available.
