Diversity and inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are a priority at AMSA.
We're focussed on providing an environment that fosters belonging and respect and enables everyone to reach their full potential. Through our strategies and action plans, such as our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy, Reconciliation Plan Reflect 2022 - 2024 and Gender Equity Action Plan, we're actively working towards ambitious goals around Indigenous engagement and gender equity. As we look to the future, we're committed to developing targeted actions plans around accessibility, cultural and LGBTQIA+ inclusion.
We're honoured to be recognised as an Inclusive Employer by Diversity Council Australia.
This designation highlights our dedication towards embedding an inclusive culture within our organisation and demonstrates our commitment to being transparent and benchmarking ourselves against other organisations.
Diversity working group
Our Diversity Working Group is an important employee-led group that works collaboratively across AMSA to drive diversity and inclusion progress. The group works to promote the benefits of an inclusive and diverse workforce, and supports AMSA in achieving its diversity objectives outlined in our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and action plans.

Staff engagement
Each year we check in with our staff via a survey to see how they are feeling about work-life balance, their contributions to our vision and mission, interaction with managers and workplace culture, among other things. This gives us important information on what we are doing well, so we can do more of it and what we could do better, so we can fix it.
The results from our 2023 Employee Engagement Survey have just been released and we are proud to share a summary of the findings.
