    27: What Gari Yala 2 heard from Indigenous employees
    Sep 24 2026

    In this episode of DEI Will Not DIE, Bree Gorman sits down with Professor Nareen Young, Director of the UTS Centre for Indigenous People and Work, to go inside Gari Yala 2. Designed and led by Indigenous researchers, it's the national survey of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees' workplace experiences. They discuss why "cultural load" is better described with the term unpaid workplace demands, why six of the ten truths haven't shifted since 2020, why identified roles still matter, and why organisations need to stop relying on the business case for DEI and start applying the Racial Discrimination Act.

    26: Measuring Race and Ethnicity at Work: What Australia Gets Wrong
    Sep 10 2026

    Prof Dimitria Groutsis and Prof Jane O'Leary have spent 15 years researching how Australian workplaces measure (or fail to measure) ethno-racial diversity. In this episode, they unpack why Australia still has no equivalent to WGEA's gender reporting for race, how sanitised language like "culturally diverse" has let organisations avoid the word race altogether, and why the way a question is worded can change the data it produces. They share practical advice on collecting granular, self-identified data without flattening people into stereotyped categories, and make the case for a legally mandated approach to counting race at work.

    25: LGBTIQA+ inclusion in 2026: What employees actually want
    Aug 27 2026

    Bree goes solo on LGBTIQA+ inclusion in 2026: what's changed, what's stayed the same, and why organisations pulling back right now is the opposite of what needs to happen. Drawing on this year's focus groups and consultations, they unpack what employees are asking for (hint: it's not another Pride morning tea) including irreversible public commitments, visible queer leadership, secure and purposeful data collection, and low cost, high impact low effort moves that create opportunities for social connection. Plus a personal reflection on coming out in a workplace for the first time, and why intersectionality has to sit at the centre of this work, not the edges.
