Our commitment to a diverse and inclusive workplace: 

At Curtin University, we are deeply committed to building a workplace where inclusion, respect, and equity are more than aspirations—they’re how we operate every day. We actively encourage women and individuals from underrepresented backgrounds to apply and help shape the future of design and the built environment.

We know that academic and professional environments thrive when they reflect the full diversity of society. While we’re proud of the progress we’ve made, we acknowledge there is more work to do—particularly in improving outcomes for women in the Construction Management Discipline. We are determined to change that.

The School of Design and Built Environment’s goal is to ensure a Curtin education remains relevant and valued by both students and industry. By working closely in partnership with industry in teaching, research, and engagement, the School contributes to the global knowledge economy and future industry leaders. Creative responses to emerging pedagogical and technological changes with innovative solutions ensure that the School of Design and Built Environment is sought out as a leading provider of design and built environment education and research.
