At TAFE NSW, we embrace diversity and inclusion to nurture a sense of belonging at every campus. Diversity and inclusion lead to innovation, creativity, and collaboration between students and teachers.

Our Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Plan (DIB) was co-designed by a team of employees. They each represented a diverse community and provided feedback through focus groups.

Our DIB Plan is a roadmap for integrating diversity, inclusion and belonging principles in our:

• recruitment
• curriculum design
• staff development
• community engagement.

The DIB plan is made up of four focus areas.
