Many of the workplace practices, activities and training which have been developed to increase inclusion for specific types of diversity can also apply to other types of diversity. For example, unconscious bias training can have positive impacts across First Nations, LGBTQIA+, gender equity, cultural diversity, disability, and generational diversity.
The Core Inclusion course has been developed to build foundational skills and knowledge which will help to make organisations more inclusive of a range of diverse communities.
