Council for Diversity and Inclusion
Council for Diversity and Inclusion
The Council for Diversity and Inclusion was established to recognise the importance of creating equal opportunity by welcoming and advancing the careers of a diverse range of professionals in the mining industry.
The Council consists of AusIMM and broader industry members, who represent a cross section of the resources sector.
The Council is an advisory body whose purpose is to advise the AusIMM Board on the advancement of diversity and inclusion to benefit AusIMM and our professional community. They work to:
- Guide and advise on AusIMM’s strategy to enhance diversity, equality and opportunity in resources, as reflected in the AusIMM Diversity & Inclusion Leadership Statement
- Provide advice and recommendations to the Board on the AusIMM Diversity and Inclusion Policy
- Recommend an appropriate AusIMM Diversity and Inclusion Strategy to the Board, which sets out key objectives and programs for advancing diversity and inclusion in the resources sector
- Guide and support AusIMM Management Team to implement programs and track progress towards achieving a diverse and inclusive resources sector as part of AusIMM’s role as Trusted Voice for all people in resources
AusIMM Diversity and Inclusion Policy and Strategy
We have a diversity and inclusion plan which builds on the progress already made and details how AusIMM and professionals can nurture a culture that will develop a truly diverse and inclusive industry.
AusIMM is committed to paving the way towards creating a more diverse and inclusive resources sector through:
- Better representation of diversity in our member base
- Creation of a safe and welcome environment for professionals of all backgrounds to be involved in the industry through AusIMM, and
- Improvements in the perception of the resources sector as a highly inclusive industry which will simultaneously have a positive influence on the attraction of talent into our sector.
You can learn more about our role in championing diversity, inclusion and opportunity for all people pursuing careers in resources by reading our Leadership Statement.
