Diversity@work Awards

The 2006 Diversity@work Awards recognise and reward the efforts of individuals, teams and organisations that are working to encourage diversity and inclusion in the workplace.

Awards will be made for both diversity champions and for initiatives that increase workplace diversity and inclusion.

Awards will be made in six categories for specific diversity initiatives related to the employment and inclusion of:

• Mature Age Workers
• People with a Disability
• Indigenous Australians
• Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Australians
• Work / Life Balance
• Victorian Grey Matters Employer Award

These awards celebrate employers who have embraced diversity in their workspaces. Nominations for the 2006 awards have now closed, individuals had the opportunity to nominate their own organisation, or another organisation that encourages diversity in the workplace.

The Department of Health and Ageing, through the Office for an Ageing Australia, supports the award category for the Employment and Inclusion of Mature Age Workers.
