BELONGING - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in the Australian water sector

The report Forms part of our commitment to lead efforts in diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) across the sector. It highlights the collective work across the sector to promote DEI, showcasing the progress made and the initiatives being implemented to ensure all employees, regardless of background, feel they belong with over 50 case studies from Australian water sector organisations.
