Diversity Council Australia (DCA) is the nation’s leading independent peak body for diversity and inclusion. We are a member-based, not-for-profit, with a strong network of over 1,300 member organisations, including some of Australia’s largest employers. For over 40 years we have been at the forefront of helping shape more equitable workplaces, contributing to a stronger economy and fairer society.

Our evidence-led approach is centred on lived experience, and our research consistently shows that inclusive organisations are more innovative, productive, and resilient in changing environments.

Through groundbreaking research, practical tools, events, advocacy, education and training, we provide expert guidance across a spectrum of diversity dimensions to employees, leaders, policymakers and the broader community. We equip organisations with the tools and insights they need to champion the undeniable benefits of diversity and inclusion. This work also supports our charitable purpose, which is to promote and advance diversity and inclusion in workplaces for the benefit of individuals, organisations and the broader community.

• Our vision is to create a just and equitable Australian society where people in all their diversity can thrive.
• Our learning culture unites us as a team and sets the tone of our working environment.

DCA values lived experience as well as expertise, and we encourage applications from people with Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander backgrounds, who have caring responsibilities, from culturally and racially marginalised groups, people with disability, people who experience ageism, LGBTIQ+ people, and people who experience exclusion because of their social class.
