The Department is definitely a very diverse place, and there are a very high percentage of women in higher management positions. I would say promotion and maternity leave are workforce leading best practices, and something for the private sector to aspire to. I work with people from different ethnic and social backgrounds, and can genuinely say it is a safe and welcoming environment for all.

All covered. Obviously, there is still significant work to be done, but I understand my employer is dedicated to recruiting and providing additional supports to employees where needed. There are a lot of women of intersectional backgrounds in executive/leadership roles, and having children has not been as much of a barrier as it once was.

Very strong diversity in the workplace. High numbers of women in leadership positions and flexible arrangements for child care and maternity leave.

Highly committed. One of the best workplaces I have seen for this.

I think I have not had enough exposure to be able to give a fulsome response but I do think the government prioritises diversity and hope to be able to look into this in the future.

The Queensland Government is very committed to supporting and promoting diversity in the workplace. This is exemplified by the wide range of grads currently in the program.

I work in a team consisting of all women, the executive team on my floor are also women. Ethnic minorities are present at all levels of the organisation; from grads to executives. The office space is proactive in supporting LGBT members of the team.

There should be more effort to recruit Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander graduates.
