"Diversity, inclusion and equity policies are now broadly endorsed in
Australian organisations. But not all diversities are equal. Our research
suggests while programs for women and some racial minorities are being
embraced, other diversities are excluded.
In particular social class is ignored, and people with invisible, subtle or
complex diversities are seldom considered.
The almost exclusive and independent focus on gender and race is not
surprising, given Australia’s history. Colonisation and the dispossession of
Indigenous Australians, the legacy of the White Australia Policy and persistent
discrimination against women at work are all realities with which, as a nation,
we have not fully reconciled with.
But if everyone in Australia is going to get a fair go at work, all the
disadvantages people face need to be recognised."
