Workplace Diversity in Action Training Course (AUS Version)
$27.50 inc. GST
The Workplace Diversity in Action Training Course (AUS Version) goes beyond awareness to build the practical skills employees and organisations need to create genuinely inclusive workplaces. It covers how to identify and address barriers to inclusion, apply inclusive principles in everyday interactions, support active bystander behaviour, and embed diversity and inclusion into workplace policies and practices — using contemporary examples and real-world scenarios throughout.
Designed specifically for Australian workplaces, this course is suitable for all employees and managers regardless of industry. It covers key diversity areas including Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse communities, people with disability, neurodivergent people, LGBTIQA+ communities, and people of all ages, genders, and socio-economic backgrounds. On completion, participants receive an instant digital certificate confirming their engagement with this training.
This course will take approximately 48 minutes to complete.
Why is the Workplace Diversity in Action Training Important?
Australia’s workplaces are increasingly diverse — in culture, language, age, ability, gender identity, sexual orientation, and lived experience. When organisations lack shared understanding and practical inclusion skills, the result is higher conflict, discrimination complaints, disengagement, reputational risk, and lost talent. Good intentions are not enough without consistent, practised behaviours.
Australian employers and workers have obligations to provide and maintain respectful, non-discriminatory workplaces under federal and state or territory laws. This training supports compliance by building the consistent, practical behaviours that strengthen inclusion at every level of an organisation.
This course gives employees and managers the tools to take meaningful action — not just understand what diversity means, but act on it day to day.

- Supervisors and managers are responsible for team culture, psychological safety, and EEO compliance
- HR, People & Culture, and operational leaders are driving diversity and inclusion initiatives

- Strengthen EEO and compliance posture — Documented training in diversity and inclusion supports audit readiness and demonstrates organisational commitment to legal obligations.
- Improve team engagement and retention — Inclusive workplaces see higher employee engagement, better decision-making, and lower turnover — particularly across diverse teams.
