The College of Science aims to be a welcoming place where all staff and students can contribute fully to our shared purpose. To do so, we expect everybody to pro-actively contribute to increasing inclusion. We work collectively to remove barriers to access and inefficiencies in our systems and facilities.
Besides the rooms listed above, CoS has the following rooms available.

Measures to support access and inclusion for employees with disability
ANU is implementing measures to support the recruitment, inclusion and retention of employees with disability. This includes:
Example adjustments during a selection process
We recognise that an individual is often best placed to know what accommodations may help that person to participate in a selection process. To help candidates feel comfortable to discuss adjustment needs, we have prepared a list of common requests. Adjustments to a selection process could include, but are not limited to:
During a recruitment process, the HR team checks that all assessment rooms and surrounding facilities are accessible. We encourage hiring managers to communicate assessment methods early, in the job advertisement, so that candidates have an opportunity to communicate adjustment needs. We also encourage hiring managers to provide interview questions in advance to assist candidate confidence and inclusion.
If you are applying for a role and would like to discuss adjustment options, please contact the HR team at hr.cos@anu.edu.au. Adjustment requests or the disclosure of disability will not be communicated to the selection committee without the candidates consent and it will not have any bearing on hiring decisions.
The College of Science Diverse and Equitable Hiring and Workforce Development Procedure (pdf, 292KB) requires each School to develop a five year strategy that identifies underrepresentation in the workforce and lists recruitment and retention practices that will remove employment barriers, improve hiring decisions and create a diverse and inclusive workforce that is representative of the Australian population.
