Mission
The Environment Collective (EC) aims to move our efforts beyond the false dichotomy of built and natural environments, recognising the indivisibility of our ecological, social and economic realities. As signatory to the UN Sustainable Development Solutions Network (SDSN) Higher Education Commitment, Western is committed to promoting the global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which means acting according to environmentally sustainable principles. We will hold the University accountable, advocating for the integrity and rights of Nature, and the physical and psychological benefits which flow from immersion in thriving ecosystems.
We have already begun to develop collaborations with the SDSN Youth chapter at Western, the student club P.E.A.C.E. Unlimited which is working towards the SDGs at Western, Hawkesbury Council Environmental Sustainability Advisory Committee, Sustainable Futures, and Chaplaincy. We are implementing initiatives aimed at eradicating single-use plastics (cutlery, straws, etc) on campus, discounts for bringing your own coffee cup, avoiding use of plastic bottles at all events, changing air con / heating temperatures by 2 degrees, and installing a student-community food garden.
The EC will continue to strive to empower the Uni – and ourselves – to adopt ethical and sustainable practices for the sake of Humanity and our Home.

Mission
The Queer Collective is a group of sex and gender diverse students and staff (including questioning and allied members) at Western Sydney University. The role of the Queer Collective is to provide safe and comfortable spaces, hold fun events and advocate for more inclusive policy and practices at Western Sydney University. The Queer Collective is not a political organisation nor is it to benefit a particular identity over another. We are all individuals. Everyone has equal status and representation regardless of gender identity and sexual preference. The purpose of the Queer Collective is to provide a safe and supportive environment for all students at Western Sydney University who identify as sex or gender diverse. The Queer Collective also acts a representative of students at the Western Sydney University staff and often contribute to feedback and discussion to encourage diversity within student and campus life. It is for this reason that we aim to ensure the Queer Spaces remain a place where everyone feels welcome!
