2A Value and respect diversity and inclusiveness in the workplace

Australian society is made up of many diverse communities and cultures. When working in Australia, it is reasonable to expect your role in the care service industry to involve working with people from diverse backgrounds. This is a chance for you to meet people you may not otherwise have the opportunity to meet; to learn about cultures you may not know anything about; and to gain an understanding of a wide range of traditions, customs, languages, beliefs and ideals. It is also an opportunity to learn how to be more inclusive as you work with people from a different social or cultural background to your own.
