Friendly Space Policies, also known as Safe Space Policies, are guidelines for in-person Wikimedia community gatherings which advise that all participants seek to encourage a positive and constructive experience for all other participants.

View the Policy

The Wikimedia Australia Safe Space Policy is available to view on our website.

Wikimedia Australia is dedicated to providing a welcoming experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, appearance, race, religion, or preferred free license (and not limited to those aspects). We do not tolerate harassment of event participants.

If you are concerned about the conduct of an individual, or receive a complaint, you may take action appropriate to the situation. This can include a private warning to the person concerned; in more serious cases it may be necessary to ask them to leave an event.

To report an incident fill out the Safe Spaces Report form.

If you have any concerns or questions please contact WMAU staff by sending an email via safety@wikimedia.org.au
