Inclusion and diversity

An inclusive workplace culture allows us to perform better, attract and retain the workforce we need, and deliver services that support the communities we serve. In the department, we believe that each of us, regardless of our position, has a role to play in building workplaces that embrace and value diversity.

The department's We All Belong workplace inclusion and diversity framework was launched in July 2018, outlining our approach to valuing and embracing the different skills, knowledge and experiences each of our staff brings to work. Students who feel they belong, are understood and have role models like them have the best chance of succeeding.

Census data is critical to understanding the diversity of our workforce. It enables us to monitor and report on our progress in developing inclusive leadership and inclusive workplace cultures across our organisation.
