Small and medium enterprises contribute over 57 per cent of Australia’s GDP and are responsible for creating almost 7 million jobs. 

To attract the best talent, and to create vibrant, creative, high functioning and resilient workforces, it is important that Australia’s small and medium businesses have diverse and inclusive workforces.
