About us

Diversity Partners is one of Australia’s leading diversity and inclusion consultancies.

“We aspire to be recognised in the market as the consulting partner of choice and thought leader on diversity and inclusive leadership.”

Dr Katie Spearritt, CEO

Since our establishment in 2009, we’ve helped more than 500 organisations to create more inclusive work environments and attract and retain people from diverse backgrounds through our consulting and education services.

Our clients range from large blue-chip companies to small-medium firms, public sector departments and agencies, local Councils and start-ups.

We care deeply about making workplaces better – for everyone.

Diversity Partners has helped drive systemic change in organisations by:

  • integrating diversity, equity and inclusion principles in policies and practices,
  • developing and implementing diversity and inclusion strategies and
  • enterprise-wide education for leaders and employees on inclusive behaviours and communication.

When you work with us, we strive to provide the following value:

Track Record:

We have a strong track record of success in organisations in Australia and New Zealand across many sectors, including resources organisations, insurance, legal and professional services firms, government entities, retail, and the arts.

Quality:

We are committed to the highest standards of work, and our reputation in the Australian market reflects this commitment. We have developed trusted long-term relationships with many organisations. Diversity Partners was selected in 2020 as an approved Panellist by Victoria’s Commission for Gender Equality in the Public Sector to provide gender equality services to Victorian public entities.

Diverse capability:

We are a team of specialists with expertise in gender, gender identity, sexual orientation, cultural diversity, age, neurodiversity, and disability that ensures we apply an intersectional lens to our engagements.

Practical experience underpinned by academic research:

We work hard to continually strengthen our knowledge of local and global best practice standards, with many of us participating in local and global inclusion networks.

Experienced:

We use experienced consultants in all engagements, so clients benefit from their extensive work and deep knowledge. All consultants have provided services and leadership to achieve greater diversity and inclusion, particularly in the corporate sector.

Partnership approach:

We were founded with the goal of being a strategic ‘partner’ to organisations to progress inclusion and diversity. From the first point of engagement, we seek to understand client context, culture, and current capability, adapting our response and solutions to help progress and build internal capability.

Agility and innovation:

Being a small business, Diversity Partners is able to adapt quickly to different needs and provide swift responses to clients for support. We regularly offer new services and programs to integrate best practice thinking across multiple disciplines of business psychology, diversity and inclusion, human resources, organisation development, business management and leadership theory.

Our Clients

We’ve guided more than 600 organisations to improve diversity and inclusion in their workplaces. Many of Australia’s most respected and innovative organisations have chosen to work with us.
