When Progress on Diversity Depends on Employer Goodwill, It Can Disappear
Improving cultural and racial diversity in Australian workplaces is often framed as a question of leadership, cultural reform, and organisational commitment. These things matter, but experience shows they are not enough. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives that rely solely on employer goodwill can be reversed, deprioritised, or quietly abandoned. If DEI advocates are serious, the use of enterprise bargaining and Work Health and Safety (WHS) laws offer the most practical avenue to embed initiatives, strengthen accountability, and enforce commitments. The upcoming round of Australian Public Service (APS) service-wide bargaining provides an opportunity to do this in the context of Federal government agencies.
