Our culture

At the ARC, we foster a workplace culture that is respectful, collaborative and purpose driven. Our values to create a safe, respectful and inclusive workplace guide how we work together and with the research community. We’re committed to building a workplace where people feel supported, valued and proud of the work they do.

Inclusion and diversity

We value the different perspectives, experiences and strengths that our people bring to the ARC. Inclusion and diversity are central to our work and our culture. We are committed to providing a safe and inclusive workplace where everyone feels respected and can contribute and thrive.

The ARC’s Diversity Working Group (DWG) brings together staff from across the organisation with a shared goal: to strengthen our workplace culture by promoting diversity, inclusion and belonging. The DWG has played a key role in driving inclusive initiatives across the ARC.
