Rainbow Lanyards for SCS Staff and Students

They’re back – by popular demand – again! Rainbow lanyards are a visible symbol of support for LGBTIQ members of the Monash community and convey the strong message that Monash University celebrates diversity and supports inclusion.


Please consider completing the Ally Network training (staff and students have tailored sessions), especially if you hold a leadership position within the University. These sessions aim to help staff and students understand the meaning of the LGBTIQ acronym and the concepts of sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression. Staff are made aware of the unique challenges that may be faced by LGBTIQ students and staff and get the chance to develop skills to be an active ally. Students are empowered to make a positive impact and foster an inclusive culture.

Please visit Cat Shore-Lorenti in Room MC.34, Level 5, Block E, Monash Medical Centre for a lanyard or email cat.shore-lorenti@monash.edu your office address and they will be sent via internal mail.
