AUSTRALIA IS A DIVERSE NATION!
• Australians identify with incredibly diverse backgrounds including first nations, multicultural,
age, religion, gender, LGBTIQ+, experience of physical and mental disability and socio-
economic background.
• LGBTIQ+ Australians may make up 11% of the population. (Australian Human Rights
Commission 2014)
• 46,800 same-sex coupled households (2016 Census 39%):
– 23,700 male same-sex couples - 4.5% have children
– 23,000 female same-sex couples - a quarter have children

• Inclusion Dividend = $12.7 billion annually (Deloitte, 2019)
higher productivity, improved employment outcomes and improved health outcomes.
• “Our future prosperity depends on seeing through the things that divide us to the rich vein of creativity and imagination that such differences expose.” (Professor Ian Harper, 2019)
• “Companies have so much to gain when employees bring their whole selves to their job.” (Alan Joyce, 2019)
• “The more ‘pro-diversity’ a workplace is, the more likely it is they can attract a wider range of talent…and benefit from a plurality of views.” (Alan Joyce, October 2015)
THE VALUE OF INCLUSION

Can I see myself in that business or service? Does it meet my need?
Would I apply for a job there? Do they get me? Would I fit in?
Can I be myself? Will I be safe?
Will I have to explain my gender, sexuality or intersex variation?
Will they welcome my same-sex or gender diverse partner?
Am I counted in their data? Will I be properly engaged?
Do they have LGBTIQ specific services, activities or products?
INCLUSION CONSIDERATIONS?
