Respectful and inclusive communities
Read the Respectful and Inclusive Communities Action Plan (RICAP) and learn about how we are putting the plan into practice.
The Respectful and Inclusive Communities Action Plan (RICAP) 2024–2026 shows how Federation University is working to provide all members of our community with equal opportunity and freedom from discrimination, harassment and gender-based violence. It applies an intersectional lens to all planned actions to ensure that we celebrate diversity and build equity into everything we do.
Who helped shape the plan?
The RICAP actions have been formed from input from students and staff, drawing on their lived experiences and key issues identified in the 2021 National Student Safety Survey (NSSS) report.
Here’s how Federation is tracking against the goals and actions in the RICAP, with progress updates as of February 2026.
