Pride at Liberty
Liberty advocates for the LGBTQIA+ community through intentional actions and initiatives.
From a dedicated Pride Network to our community charity partners, inclusive policies, and education – we’re committed to advocating for, supporting, and celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community.
The Pride Network
The Liberty Pride Network helps provide a safe space for identifying team members and drives education, awareness and social initiatives across the organisation.
The network hosts regular workshops to give guidance on any issues attendees are experiencing directly or that impact the community. Monthly meetings are used as supportive check-ins as well as a space to plan upcoming Pride-related events.
The Pride Network is an invaluable resource for those who identify as LGBTQIA+, and the wider Liberty community, and its work helps create a truly inclusive workplace.

Acknowledging LGBTQIA+ key dates
Liberty recognises and celebrates a number of key dates on the LGBTQIA+ calendar by hosting events, external speaker presentations, and distributing educational resources. Some of these important dates include:

National Coming Out Day

Supporting LGBTQIA+ charities
Liberty regularly welcomes guest speakers from LGBTQIA+ organisations. Each year, the Pride Network holds a fundraising bake sale in support of our charity partner, Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG).
HAAG helps older Australians access safe and inclusive housing, as many older LGBTQIA+ people who have faced discrimination often find it difficult accessing mainstream housing services. Liberty also directly supports Minus18, an organisation improving the lives of LGBTQIA+ youth.

Liberty was also named a Diversity Council Australia Inclusive Employer for two years running, as well as Employer of Choice at the 2025 Australian Business Awards, and one of the Australian Financial Review’s Best Places to Work for 2025. These honours are a testament to our ongoing efforts to foster a supportive and equitable workplace culture.
