Workplace Diversity and Inclusion encompasses many positive aspects of life. It is about acknowledging the diverse skills and perspectives that people may bring to the workplace because of their gender, age, language, ethnicity, cultural background, disability, religious belief, sexual orientation, working style, educational level, professional skills, work and life experiences, socio-economic background, job function, geographical location, marital status and family responsibilities.
Workplace Diversity and Inclusion is about removing barriers to ensure all employees enjoy full participation in a workplace which supports the development and achievement of well informed and culturally appropriate business outcomes. It also involves recognising the value of individual differences and managing them in the workplace.
We aspire to recognise and embrace the diversity each person brings to their workplace, creating an environment of trust, mutual respect and appreciation which allows all employees to collaborate effectively in the ongoing development and delivery of citizen-centric services to the Australian community.
