Diversity and Inclusion's primary role is to deliver strategies and initiatives that build an APS which values diverse views, backgrounds, abilities and perspectives.

We support the APS to foster diverse workforces and create respectful, psychologically safe and inclusive workplaces where everyone can contribute.

If you have a query in relation to your personal circumstances, we encourage you to contact the Human Resources team in your organisation with your query.

Diversity and Inclusion includes the following teams:

Reconciliation Action Plan artwork represents connections of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to country. It shows plants including desert flowers, seaweed and gum leaves with reds and blues. It has 3 places, connected by pathways. 2 hands working together represents the aim of a cultural understanding and learning from each other. People surrounding a large circle represents a culturally safe working environment for all. 3 people sitting together represents strong reconciliation principles.
