Action Plan: People of Diverse Sexualities and Genders

Working collectively for the inclusion of people of diverse sexualities and genders in the WA public sector.

Everyone has a right to come to work and be accepted. People of diverse sexualities and genders make up around 11% of the Australian community and while the sector currently does not measure representation of this group, we need to ensure our workplaces are inclusive.

This action plan outlines activities that commit the public sector to building opportunities for inclusion and fostering workplace cultures that allow people to bring their true selves to work.

Building inclusive workplaces

Creating inclusive workplaces in the sector where diversity is accepted, affirmed and celebrated requires sustained effort, different ways of working and stronger accountability.

Actions taken require collaboration with people of diverse sexualities and genders whose ideas and participation are essential in making our sector as inclusive as possible.

The following resources help agencies to build understanding and support employment opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds.
