About Us
Building safer, stronger and more inclusive workplaces.
Diversity Australia partners with organisations across Australia and New Zealand to help create workplaces that are safe, respectful and high performing.
We bring together compliance, risk, training, leadership development and consulting to support organisations to meet their legal obligations, strengthen culture and unlock sustainable performance.
Our work is practical, evidence-based and designed to create real, lasting change – not one-off interventions.
What We Do
We support organisations across four core areas:
Compliance + Risk
Clear, practical solutions that help organisations meet their legal obligations and manage risk with confidence.
Our work spans Respect at Work, psychosocial risk, PCBU and officer obligations, ISO standards and audits – helping organisations move beyond compliance to proactive, accountable risk management.
Training
Engaging, strengths-based training that builds capability and drives real behaviour change.
Our programs cover bystander and upstander practice, inclusive recruitment, unconscious bias, anti-racism, Indigenous awareness, mental health and DEIB fundamentals – always tailored to your people and context.
Leadership Development + Coaching
Targeted development for leaders at every level.
We support emerging, frontline, senior and executive leaders to lead inclusively, manage risk, and build high-performing teams through programs, coaching and leadership pathways.
Consulting Services
Strategic advice and implementation support that turns insight into action.
Our consulting services span safety compliance, risk frameworks, workforce planning, engagement surveys, inclusive language and RAP development – embedding inclusion, safety and performance into everyday practice.
Working With Our Clients
How we deliver matters just as much as what we deliver.
Our work is grounded in the following delivery values:
Respect
Every participant, stakeholder and colleague deserves to feel heard, seen and valued.
Psychological Safety
We create environments where people feel safe to participate, reflect, question and speak openly without fear of judgement.
Cultural Responsiveness
We acknowledge identity, culture, history and community context – particularly when working with First Nations peoples and culturally diverse groups.
Trauma-Informed Practice
We recognise that people may carry lived experience of harm. We avoid forced disclosure, offer choice in participation, and approach all interactions with care.
Inclusion + Accessibility
We design learning and engagement that is accessible, adaptable and welcoming to people with diverse identities, abilities and learning needs.
What Makes Us Different
A practical, modular pathway – from compliance to high-performing, inclusive culture
We take a maturity-based approach that recognises organisations are at different starting points.
Rather than delivering short-term, one-off interventions, we support organisations to progressively build:
- Strong compliance foundations
Clear obligations, workforce readiness and consistent expectations. - Capability and behaviour change
Leadership effectiveness, everyday behaviours and practical skills that enable safe, fair and inclusive workplaces. - Sustained organisational performance
Embedded culture, aligned systems and leadership behaviours that support trust, safety and long-term performance.
Organisations can enter at any stage and progress at their own pace. Our solutions are modular, scalable and tailored – ensuring relevance to your risk profile, capability needs and strategic priorities.
Everyone Has a Role in Culture
We believe culture is shaped at every level of an organisation.
That’s why we use a tiered approach to capability development:
- Boards + Executives
Governance, risk, accountability and due diligence. - Senior Leaders
Translating strategy into culture, systems and expectations. - Managers + People Leaders
Day-to-day implementation, early intervention and psychosocial safety. - Employees + Frontline Staff
Everyday behaviour, workplace conduct and shared responsibility.
When expectations align across all levels, compliance becomes embedded and culture becomes sustainable.
Our Approach
We take a co-design approach that places your organisation’s people, culture and objectives at the centre of every engagement.
We:
- take time to understand your context and needs
- align programs to your values, policies and systems
- consult with key stakeholders
- create safe learning environments where learning sticks
- bring real-world insight and relevant examples
- focus on measurable outcomes and continuous improvement
This approach ensures relevance, engagement and impact – long after training ends.
