About

The National Union of Students (NUS) Queer Department represents Australian students that identify as queer, that is: gay, lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, asexual, trans*, intersex, sex and/or gender diverse, or not conforming to the norms of gender identity and/or sexuality, and those questioning their gender identity and/or sexuality.

It aims to support queer students around the country, improve their welfare and safety, challenge queer phobia and discrimination based on gender or sexuality, and ensure that universities provide them with the services they need.

It does this through running national campaigns, working with queer student representatives at campuses, training queer student activists, developing and distributing resources, and lobbying universities and government.

The NUS National Queer Officers for 2013 are Hiba Casablanca and Cat Rose.
