DEMIRS is committed to fostering a workplace where diverse backgrounds, abilities and experiences of our staff and communities are understood, embraced and celebrated.

We believe that creating a culture where diversity and inclusion is at the forefront of everything we do, will support our people to thrive at work.

Everyone should feel safe to be themselves at work and empowered to contribute their unique perspectives and skills, with opportunities to develop their capability and progress their careers.

Our diversity, multicultural and inclusion commitment goes beyond our workforce to include our clients and the community we engage with. We are committed to ensuring that everyone has equitable access to our facilities, public information and services when interacting with us.

Our current Diversity, Multicultural and Inclusion Plan 2023 – 2027 demonstrates our ongoing commitment to action. The plan builds on the achievements of previous plans, while recognising the importance of continuous improvement.

The department’s Reconciliation Action Plan and Disability Access and Inclusion Action Plan support the Diversity, Multicultural and Inclusion Plan.

We are proud to be recognised as an Inclusive Employer for 2023-2024 by Diversity Council Australia and a member with Australian Disability Network.
