The Cultural and Linguistic Diversity (CALD) Network has new Champions and a refreshed vision for inclusion and you are warmly invited to be part of it. Come along on Tuesday 21 October at 2pm and meet our new Champions Koshila Kumar, Jelena Bogdanovic and Salma Arabi and help build a vision for this important employee network.

In 2025:

  • 13% of Charles Sturt staff speak a language other than English at home
  • 10% of Charles Sturt staff come from an ethnic minority background
  • More than 56 languages other than English are spoken at home by Charles Sturt staff


Networks aim to:

  • unite people who share lived experience of inequity, and those who support them
  • create a forum to raise issues of importance for gender equity
  • allow members to draw on personal experience of gender inequity to provide feedback and guide decisions around University priorities and initiatives
  • provide a safe place for employees to connect and create dialogue around diversity, workplace inclusion and belonging


Come along and share your experiences, show your allyship and help to create a truly inclusive culture in our workplace.
