The NDIA has a diverse workforce that represents the community we serve. We recognise it’s vital to have an inclusive, safe and supportive workplace.
The Agency aims to deliver this through the projects listed below.
NDIA LGBTIQA+ Inclusion Plan 2021-2023
The NDIA is committed to the inclusion of everyone who works at or engages with our Agency.

The plan:

- grows a more inclusive workplace culture.
NDIA LGBTIQA+ Rainbow Commitment
We value the lived experience of our staff, which helps the Agency be its best.

It was created by working with our LGBTIQA+ staff.

It supports an open and inclusive workplace culture where diversity is respected and celebrated.
