Achieving genuine LGBTQ+ inclusion in regional workplaces remains a significant and multifaceted challenge, as highlighted by feedback from both employers and employees, along with the latest insights from the Australian Workplace Equality Index.

In response, Pride in Diversity is delivering a cross‑organisational initiative designed to strengthen awareness and foster meaningful inclusion across regional Victoria.

Generously hosted by Federation University and sponsored by Australia Post, Reaching Ballarat/Wadawurring and Dja Dja Wurrung with Pride will take place on Thursday 4th June. The program features a series of sessions centred on capability‑building, networking, best‑practice sharing, and emerging research. The aim is to equip participants with the knowledge and confidence to drive real, lasting change in regional workplaces—regardless of their size, industry, or location.
