The University of Queensland has received a platinum rating at the Australian LGBTQ+ Inclusion Awards for efforts to create a more inclusive and equitable workplace.
These awards are based on the annual results of the Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI) submissions – Australia’s national benchmark for LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion.
UQ has reached the Platinum Tier for the first time, a significant achievement that reflects sustained leadership and commitment to LGBTQIA+ workplace inclusion.
The Platinum Tier is awarded to organisations that have consistently achieved high benchmark results over the past five years.
The University has held a gold award since 2022 and remains committed to creating safer and more equitable workplaces for all employees.
The awards were hosted by Pride in Diversity, a national not-for-profit program supporting employers in LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion, and an initiative of ACON which is Australia’s largest LGBTQ+ health organisation.
