Diversity Consultants provide specialist advice to business leaders and government agencies about diversity, equality, and inclusion best-practices. They carry out compliance audits then develop workplace education and training programs to address cognitive biases, sexual harassment, cultural insensitivities and other EEO issues.
As a Diversity Consultant you could be meeting with a corporate department head to analyse the impact of cultural intensities among production crews, developing a set of diversity and inclusion tools for a public organisation, conducting a workplace information session for general staff, attending a corporate strategic planning session, preparing a detailed diversity and EEO audit report for a new client, making a presentation on inclusive leadership at a state meeting of a peak industry body.
This is an exciting occupation because you’re at the forefront of corporate change that makes the Australian workplace more tolerant and inclusive.
Salaries for Diversity Consultants begin at around $90,000 per annum and increase according to your graduate qualifications, specialist skills, and professional experience.
There are no clear figures for diversity consultants working in Australia at this time. However, this is an emerging occupation and, due to Australia’s growing multicultural profile, likely to increase over the next 5-10 years.
Diversity Consultants are degree-qualified professionals. Get started with a Bachelor of Human Resources or Bachelor of Psychology with a major in diversity studies. Alternately, you can add a Graduate Certificate in Diversity, Equality and Inclusion to your Bachelor of Business.
