What role does AI-supported recruitment play in diversity and inclusion? The use of AI tools in recruitment is booming, from machine learning when sourcing job candidates to automating administration when onboarding new staff. As more Australian organisations delegate recruitment tasks to AI, guidance is needed on what AI tools are available and their diversity-related pros and cons. That’s why we worked with Monash University and project sponsor Hudson RPO to understand how - Australian organisations can use AI-recruitment tools inclusively.

Diversity Council Australia (DCA) urges full LGBTIQ+ inclusion in the 2026 Census. DCA stands with Equality Australia and other advocates in urging the federal government to reconsider the exclusion of trans and gender-diverse individuals, as well as people with innate variations of sex characteristics, from the 2026 Census. While we welcome the government's move to test questions about sexual orientation, we believe it's crucial to continue testing questions that include all members of the LGBTIQ+ community. 🔗 Read our full statement here: https://ow.ly/KgR550TcNfi DCA has long collaborated with the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS), government, and other stakeholders to enhance how our census reflects Australia's diverse population, including those who identify as LGBTIQ+. Our efforts include formal submissions, participation in advisory committees, and ongoing advocacy to ensure everyone is counted. #InclusionMatters #LGBTIQ+ #DiversityandInclusion #Census2026 #EqualityForAll #CountUsIn #LGBTQInclusion #SexualDiversity #GenderDiversity #InclusiveLeadership #DiversityEquityInclusion

Australia’s new Right to Disconnect laws present an important opportunity for workplaces – a chance to enact organisational change that protects employee wellbeing in an increasingly hyper-connected world, says DCA CEO Lisa Annese. Take a moment to read Lisa's latest blog on the opportunities that these new regulatory changes have towards fostering employee wellbeing and inclusive workplace environments. "By formally stating that employees aren’t expected to respond to work messages outside of their regular hours, these laws can help protect people’s right to rest and leisure by emphasising a clear boundary between their work and personal time."

What makes an inclusive manager? Findings from our Case for Inclusion @ Work 2023-2024 found that an inclusive manager is someone who: ✔️ values differences, ✔️ seeks out and uses a diversity of ideas, ✔️ treats everyone equitably, and ✔️ deals with inappropriate behaviour. Inclusion is much more than a “feel good” exercise – it creates a better work environment that boosts employee wellbeing, fuels performance and minimises risk. If you need a case for inclusion at work, this is your GO-TO guide.

Did you know that people with disability represent one of the most overlooked and undervalued talent pools in Australia, despite 5.5 million people or 21% of the population having disability? Our latest report in collaboration with the Australian Disability Network found: * 43% of employees with disability reported having people make incorrect assumptions about their abilities because of their identity, compared to 28% of employees without disability. * 42% of people with disability have experienced discrimination and/or harassment at work, nearly double the rate of people without disability (23%), and * 35% of employees with disability didn’t share their disability status because of concerns they would be seen less favourably and overlooked for promotion or development.

Today, as we mark the International Day for People of African Descent 2024, Diversity Council Australia (DCA) reaffirms our commitment to addressing the systemic challenges that People of African Descent continue to face in Australian workplaces. This year marks the conclusion of the first International Decade for People of African Descent, which has focused on recognition, justice, and development. Over the past decade, DCA has actively worked to combat racism and promote inclusion for people of African descent. In our latest blog, authored by Dr. Virginia Mapedzahama, PhD, DCA's Member Education Director and Project Lead - RISE, and Angelica Ojinnaka-Psillakis, Education Manager at DCA, we reflect on our significant efforts, including the launch of the Racism at Work Report in 2022. This groundbreaking initiative amplified the voices of those with lived experiences of racism and provided the first organisational anti-racism tool tailored specifically for the Australian context. Additionally, through the RISE Project, in collaboration with Settlement Services International (SSI) and Chief Executive Women (CEW), we have focused on creating pathways to senior leadership for women from Culturally and Racially Marginalised (CARM) backgrounds, including women of African descent. DCA has also made significant contributions to the broader conversation on racial equity through advocacy and education, including detailed submissions to the Australian Human Rights Commission's national anti-racism framework consultation. As we conclude the International Decade for People of African Descent, we encourage workplaces to reflect on how they can contribute to a more just and equitable society. Read our latest blog to learn more about our work and the significance of this day: https://ow.ly/m2Rp50T9pcm #Inclusion #RISEProject #PeopleOfAfricanDescent #WorkplaceEquity #AntiRacism #Leadership #CARM #SocialJustice #HumanRights
