Diversity and Inclusion Masterclass Series
Every individual, and every organisation, is responsible for building, enabling, and supporting a diverse and inclusive workplace where people feel valued and safe.
AusIMM’s Diversity and Inclusion Masterclasses are designed to nurture individuals with insights to understand diversity and identify their own biases, and to empower them with the skills and tools to drive positive change in the workplace and broader mining sector.
This Masterclass series is designed to help people and organisations achieve the social, cultural and commercial benefits that diverse workplaces have been proven to deliver. While designed to be completed together, the Foundations and Advanced masterclasses may also be undertaken separately.

We have had very positive feedback since rolling out the course within AMC, not only from those who attended but others who felt it sent a very clear message throughout the organization the importance of the topic. A number of participants are now going through the advanced course.
Kellie McGee
The course is incredibly well structured and organised, 1hr sessions each week worked very well and helped soak in each module. Giulia is an excellent facilitator and covers the content well. I am looking forward to reflecting on the course with a direct report who attended the course as well and we plan on presenting to the team on some key learnings and suggest actions. As a white male in mining I found it very powerful listening to other people's experiences in mining that I have not been exposed to. I am now motivated to reach out to all employees in our work group and get to know them a bit better and find out what we can do to help improve our inclusivity at site.
Participant of March 2021 intake
There was some great content that I think can be easily applied quite quickly. Small changes which translates into wins is the aim, and slowly improving the current way of doing things! Thanks for a good course!
