Diversity & Inclusion
Fuelling Innovation Through Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
Our Diversity, Equity And Inclusion (DEI) Mission Statement
At Emanate, we believe that diversity and inclusion go far beyond quotas—they are intrinsic to creating excellence. With our unique focus on the Australian tech industry, we have gained valuable insight into what makes high-performing teams truly excel. Our data shows that diversity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the key to success.
Diversity brings unique perspectives, challenges the status quo, and pushes boundaries to set new standards. A team that draws from varied experiences and backgrounds can achieve unparalleled results. After all, if we’re all sitting around the table with the same thoughts and ideas, we aren’t innovating. In fact, it suggests we may not need that repetition in the first place.
But what does this mean in practice?
At Emanate, our mission is clear: quality. To us, quality isn't just a concept; it’s a commitment to ensuring the best outcomes for every business and project, no matter its form. We aim to actively educate ourselves and the market we work in, taking diligent steps to uncover and support true quality in every team we engage with.
Emanate is committed to representing CALD, LGBTQIA+, disabled, aging, and other underrepresented groups—not only within our own team but across all the teams we collaborate with. Diversity isn’t only a goal for us; we believe it’s a vital force that forms the canvass for creating something extraordinary.

Understanding The Australian Tech Landscape
The Australian tech industry still has progress to make:
- 28% of the tech workforce are women, with even lower representation in senior leadership roles.
- 8% of tech workers identify as having a disability, highlighting the need for more inclusive hiring practices.
- CALD individuals make up 42% of tech professionals, yet barriers to leadership remain a challenge.
These statistics drive our determination to be part of the solution.
Our Aspiration Is To Learn From The Best
We actively study and implement practices from industry leaders who are making tangible progress in DEI, and look to formally introduce programs based on:
- Blind Hiring & Anonymised Resumes: Reducing bias by removing names, ages, and other identifiers during initial screening.
- Diversity Panels for Hiring Decisions: Including diverse voices in the hiring process to mitigate bias and broaden perspectives.
- Flexible Work Policies: Supporting better work-life balance, which has been shown to improve retention of underrepresented groups.
Our Commitments
- Representation & Advocacy: Actively promoting diversity in all its forms within our internal teams and across the industry.
- Education & Awareness: Continuously learning, evolving, and sharing knowledge to drive meaningful change.
- Equity & Accessibility: Breaking down barriers to ensure equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of background or circumstance.
- Community Involvement: Participating in and sponsoring events, programs, and initiatives that champion underrepresented voices
