LGPro’s commitment to diversity and inclusion

As the member association for Victorian local government professionals, LGPro influences the experiences of inclusion across the sector.

As an employer, LGPro has affirmed its aspiration to offer a workplace that is inclusive, respectful, safe, and flexible. In its role as a member association and the sector's trainer of choice, inclusivity is now embedded as a design principle.

LGPro has:

• Diversified its delivery modes to include online, hybrid, and rural-based formats
• Developed award categories and learning opportunities that reflect the unique contexts of diverse professionals and smaller rural and regional councils
• Made access a priority by offering targeted scholarships, especially for Indigenous professionals and women
• Improved content accessibility and updated systems to respond to the future local government workforce
• Taken feedback seriously, particularly on cultural safety, and acted to make events and offerings more inclusive.

But the journey is not complete, and LGPro's next steps are proactive.

LGPro's Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and Action Plan 2026 - 2030

This strategy builds from these foundations, moving LGPro from commitment to deeper impact, from responsive inclusion to structural equity, and from promising change to sustained transformation.
