Focus area 4: Promote social cohesion

All Queenslanders have a responsibility to foster social cohesion in our communities. The Queensland Government will take action to respect and celebrate the contributions of Queenslanders from diverse backgrounds.

Our action and status for 2025-26

We delivered on the following action:

• Take a strong stance against racism, and actively promote anti-racism messages to staff, clients and communities in line with each agency’s unique context.

Our outcomes:

• We are committed to ensuring every employee feels safe, valued, and respected in their workplace. We foster an environment where diversity is celebrated and inclusion is prioritised. The Employee Grievances Policy outlines that all matters are handled with fairness, respect, and care.
• Within individual teams, a strong stance against racism is actively promoted through a zero-tolerance approach.  Support mechanisms available to staff, including the employee assistance program, are regularly promoted to ensure employees can access appropriate support when needed.
