LGBTQ+ at CSIRO

CSIRO thrives on innovation; innovation that is harnessed by the diversity of the minds and lived experiences brought to our greatest challenges.

CSIRO is committed to fostering a fair, equitable and inclusive workplace with the aim that each and every one of us has a full sense of belonging.

The Pride@CSIRO Network promotes and drives the inclusion of LGBTIQ+ employees by raising awareness, supporting peers and challenging discrimination.
In 2020 CSIRO achieved Gold Employer Status in the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI), by implementing initiatives such as:

Visibly championing our LGBTIQ+ community and allies by marching in the 2019 and 2020 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
Developing more LGBTIQ+ inclusive language in our systems, policies, procedures.
Raising awareness of LGBTIQ+ issues and how to be an effective ally through workplace discussions, training, and guides.
