We are proud to announce that Helping Hand has once again been recognised by Diversity Council Australia as an Inclusive Employer for 2025-2026. This marks our second consecutive year receiving this recognition and reflects our ongoing commitment to creating a workplace where everyone is valued, respected and supported to thrive.

At Helping Hand, we believe diversity and inclusion are two of our greatest strengths. Our workforce represents team members from 74 cultural backgrounds, who speak 57 different languages, and come from 46 countries. This rich diversity enables us to provide culturally sensitive care and foster a respectful, supportive environment for residents, clients, staff and volunteers.

This achievement is based on insights from more than 700 team members who participated in the DCA survey, sharing their experiences of inclusion, respect, and belonging. Their voices help us understand what we’re doing well and where we can continue to improve.

Chris Stewart, Chief Executive Officer at Helping Hand said,

“Helping Hand is proud to be recognised by the Diversity Council Australia as an Inclusive Employer for 2025–2026, for the second consecutive year. This recognition reflects the culture our people shape every day, grounded in our values of excellence, respect, compassion and community. The survey insights will directly inform our Diversity, Inclusion and Belonging Strategy, guiding how we strengthen inclusion across our organisation.”
