Following recent changes to departmental responsibilities, the functions of the former Department of Treaty, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Communities and the Arts are transitioning to new departments. Work is underway to update departments’ websites.

Equity and Diversity Plan

The Department of Women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships and Multiculturalism is committed to supporting a thriving diverse and inclusive workplace where all people feel safe, valued and respected, and where the principles of employee inclusion, diversity and embracing difference are strongly reflected in our culture and values.

The purpose of the Equity and Diversity Plan (currently under review) is to foster and support an equitable, diverse and inclusive workplace reflective of the communities we serve, that is culturally capable and culturally safe.

The actions within the Equity and Diversity Plan are reviewed and refreshed annually to ensure they remain relevant and appropriate to the changing needs of the department.

Cultural acknowledgement

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.

Our human rights commitment

We will respect, protect and promote human rights within our decision-making and actions.
