Effective workplace diversity and inclusion (D&I) is a 'superpower' - delivering increased profit and performance, greater employee well-being, and ultimately, better long-term business resilience.

Why Join DCA?

As leaders of workplace diversity and inclusion in Australia for over three decades, we know that D&I can help achieve all the above and more.  

It’s why more and more business leaders now regard D&I as a key element of a high-performing organisation.  

And why 78% of Australian workers support action to create a diverse and inclusive workplace.

  • Get the ‘S’ in ESG right

    An authentic commitment to workplace D&I is a key component of a strong Environmental, Social & Governance strategy.

What our members say

The online events have been so valuable and the resources on the member portal are fabulous.

The membership has supported me with building my confidence as a D&I professional, expanding my knowledge on areas I have little experience and helps me to feel confident I am delivering the most current information from a trusted source.

Nothing beats DCA, it is the best asset I have to do my job as well as I do.

I cannot express in words the value I have personally benefited from DCA - suffice to say it has been INCREDIBLY SIGNFICANT.

Knowing there is a community of DEI professionals in Australia that we can reach out to - also the ongoing support from your team has been phenomenal. Thank you again!
