Sowing Seeds of Inclusion: DPIRD Institutionalizes Support for Regional LGBTQ+ Youth Through the Rainbow Network

Programming example

One of the many things I love about this job is connecting with amazing humans and this was certainly the case with fellow panellists (Sarah, Lucy and James) from NSW Dept Primary Industries and Regional Development for their Wear it Purple Lunch and Learn. As employers we must remember this cohort of humans are likely with us experiencing their first real exposure to full time work and simple acts of kindness and respect will leave a positive imprint as they move forward in their careers. Be that person! We talked about the statistics and challenges facing regional based rainbow youth and connected this with their workplaces. As well as the amazing things we can all do this day and everyday to enable everyone to be safe and their best self. This included simple acts of allyship that can elevate your actions into the visible and active space having direct impacts on the wellbeing of colleagues. And we heard about the role the Rainbow Network plays in DPIRD. Thanks for the privilege of being alongside you today (and everyday).@prideindiversity hashtag#prideindiversity hashtag#dpird hashtag#wearitpurple hashtag#wip2025 hashtag#ACON
