Overview
Curious about how to make your workplace inclusive for LGBTIQA+ colleagues and clients?
Join us for an insightful webinar on fostering inclusive environments for LGBTIQA+ individuals in the Victorian public sector. Tailored for public sector professionals to build understanding, connection, and inclusion for LGBTIQA+ communities, this webinar delivered by Queer Town has been crafted to deepen your understanding of the specific challenges, needs, and experiences of LGBTIQA+ staff, clients, and community members.
Delivered by Archie Beetle (they/them), Queer Town’s Founder & CEO, the webinar will unpack some of the essentials—from understanding the terminology to identifying barriers in the workplace. Explore research, practice pronouns and explore practical allyship through the lens of the public sector.
Outcomes
We know LGBTIQA+ individuals face unique barriers and challenges in workplaces and communities, so we encourage you to take part in the conversation and learn how we can break down some of these barriers in our professional and personal lives. Whether you or your organisation are just starting out on your allyship journey, or you’re looking to build on what you already know, this webinar will give you actionable steps to create an inclusive, supportive public sector workplace for everyone.
Together we will explore:
- Understanding key LGBTIQA+ terms: language that fosters connection and respect.
- Insights from current research: get the latest on the day-to-day experiences of LGBTIQA+ folks in workplaces and communities throughout Australia.
- Confidently using pronouns: practical ways to use and ask for pronouns that ensure everyone feels respected.
- Stories and lived experiences: hear directly from the LGBTIQA+ community about what inclusion does – and doesn’t – look like.

- P&C professionals: human resources, people and culture, and organisational development specialists.
- LGBTIQA+ community members: employees who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, queer, asexual, or other gender and sexual minorities.
