The ANU Queer* Department committee has created a list of resources for queer students at ANU. Resources have been categorised into the following groups:

• ANU-specific

• ACT-specific

• Australia-wide

• Related to the Department's gender affirming gear program.

These resources are external to the Department and have been collated for information only. For information about Department-specific resources, please navigate to the 'About' page of this website.
