Our commitment to diversity and inclusion

We are committed to fostering a work culture that is diverse and inclusive. Read about our strategies and framework to achieve this.

Our organisation respects, appreciates and embraces differences. We know when people from different perspectives and life experiences work together, we bring the most value to our clients, employees and community.

We support and promote a work culture that is diverse and inclusive, this means a culture where:

  • our staff reflect the diversity of the Victorian community we serve
  • everyone feels valued, respected and able to be their authentic selves at work.

Our organisation provides a safe workplace and service for:

  • First Nations people
  • people from culturally diverse backgrounds
  • people with a disability
  • mature-age workers
  • lesbian, gay, bisexual, asexual, pansexual, transgender and gender diverse people
  • people with diverse sex characteristics (intersex)
  • queer (broadly LGBTIQA+) people.

Our Diversity and Inclusion Framework

The aim of our framework is to build an inclusive, accessible and anti-racist workplace culture, which reflects the diversity of the community we serve.

The framework sets out our broad vision for our organisation. This is one that is inclusive and diverse, and respects every individual. This includes their differences, backgrounds, and rights.

It also details the goals and principles that will guide our continued progress.
