Pride In Diversity

Pride Inclusion Programs is a national suite of initiatives by ACON that support LGBTQ+ inclusion across workplaces, sport, health, and human services. Through Pride in Diversity, Pride in Health + Wellbeing, Pride in Sport, and Pride Training, we provide expert guidance, training, and resources to help organisations create safer, more inclusive environments for LGBTQ+ people. Pride in Diversity is the national not-for-profit employer support program for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion specialising in HR, organisational change and workplace diversity. Pride in Diversity publishes the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI), Australia’s national benchmarking instrument for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion from which Top Employers for LGBTQ+ people is determined. Pride in Health + Wellbeing is a national membership program that provides personalised support to organisations to improve their LGBTQ+ inclusion and thus improve the health and wellbeing of LGBTQ+ communities. Covering both service delivery and workforce inclusion, this program is unique within Australia and supports and enables organisations to better support their LGBTQ+ staff, volunteers, and LGBTQ communities accessing services. Pride in Sport is a national sporting inclusion program specifically designed to assist sporting organisations at all levels with the inclusion of employees, players, coaches, volunteers and spectators with diverse sexualities and genders. The world-first Pride in Sport Index™ is also a world-first benchmarking instrument that assesses the inclusion of LGBTQ+ people across all sporting contexts. Pride Training is an ACON program providing specialised LGBTQ+ awareness and inclusivity training. We have a range of learning options to build your capacity, knowledge and confidence to deliver inclusive and affirming services to sexuality and gender diverse communities.
