Industry Insights Series – Inclusion Isn’t Done: Being LGBTIQA+ at Work

Workplaces are evolving, but true inclusion? That’s still a work in progress. Join us for an engaging panel discussion where LGBTQIA+ professionals, advocates, and allies explore what it really means to bring your full self to work — and what still needs to change.

This isn’t just another DEI seminar. We’re talking real stories, real challenges, and real solutions — from navigating pronouns in meetings to tackling microaggressions and building truly affirming teams. Whether you’re just starting your career or leading a department, you’ll leave with practical strategies and fresh perspectives to create more inclusive spaces — for yourself and for others.

After the panel, stick around for relaxed, authentic networking. Meet peers, mentors, and future collaborators in a warm, welcoming environment designed to foster meaningful connections — no awkward small talk required.

This event is proudly co-presented by the Victorian Pride Centre, with accessibility front and centre. The venue is wheelchair accessible and features low-sensory design elements to ensure comfort for all attendees.

We encourage participation from everyone — including lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex, and queer communities, as well as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people of colour, people living with disability, refugee and asylum seekers, and those from multicultural and multifaith backgrounds.
