Welcome
SPACE: Queer Allies Network is a group of interested people (of all sexualities and gender identifications) who recognise and support gender and sexual diversity, and recognise the need to support gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and intersex (GLBTI) pre-service teachers and staff in education at RMIT. The network comprises RMIT staff that have participated in training relating to gender and sexual diversity, and have accepted the roles and responsibilities of an ally. The network also welcomes student involvement. We meet on the first Tuesday of each month
