People in the Networks would be able to directly respond to this with an informed opinion. Those within Networks would be aware that there are fantastic policy and initiatives that sound really good - except that is all there is. There is no real commitment from the I&D staff to have those words transform into practical action. There are very obvious tensions within the I&D team itself and this ultimately affects their relationship with the Networks.

I think it is good but always room for improvement here everywhere

From what I've seen, the company seems genuinely committed.

The company's commitment is high, diversity is promoted, diverse employees fostered. Child-care and other responsibilities are not always appropriately addressed, really depending on the teams you'll work in and their own exposure to that (often young (bar directors and up who are great) and no kids so no understanding for having to leave to pick them up or stay home or else). Despite high commitments the actual workforce is incredibly white and Anglo Celtic. My grad year had less than five out of over 40 people born overseas, all but one or two having been educated in Australia. Unbelievable.

What does your company do to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds?
Unknown. A lot of graduates in my year are from Sydney and Melbourne with privileged backgrounds.

Nothing. Being from a CALD migrant background and mature-aged, the department did nothing special to attract diverse talent. Their hiring process is based on their incredible reputation. There's some initiative to recruit more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander which is gaining traction.
