Raising the standard for diversity, equity and cultural inclusion training for local government.
Designed by council officers, informed by our community and your workforce.
Our Values
Building Together
We work with communities, not for them. Change endures when it is created together, shaped by lived experience and shared responsibility.
Recognition First
Exclusion is rarely about a lack of talent. It is about not being seen. We honour the skills, knowledge and leadership that people already bring.
Everyday Cultural Safety
Belonging should not be earned. It should be part of how an organisation moves. We help embed cultural safety into the daily systems, decisions, and interactions.
Trust in People
We believe in organisations and the people within them. Systems can change when the people shaping them are supported to lead with care, and courage.
About Inaivu
Inaivu (which means connection, inclusion and coming together in Tamil) believes diversity, equity and inclusion is not a compliance exercise. It is the foundation that makes all other work possible.
