Diversity & inclusion
Diversity and inclusion are part of the very fabric of SBS: they are at the core of our Charter, at the centre of our purpose and strategy, and at the heart of how we tell stories, connect with audiences, and recruit and engage our people.
An inclusive workplace
SBS is committed to being a leader in inclusion. That means creating opportunities for our teams to learn from the lived experiences of others, to grow in their cultural capacity and capability, and to remove barriers which inhibit learning and self-reflection. We acknowledge that this work is never done and continue to pursue ways to enhance our diversity and inclusion practices.

A workforce reflective of the audiences we serve
SBS is an incredibly diverse organisation, committed to reflecting and representing the diversity of the communities we serve across our teams, just as we are committed to doing so through our content.
Inclusive content and production
SBS plays a vital and ongoing role in contributing to the diversity of the Australian media and advancing inclusion in the sector. SBS is committed to reflecting and exploring the diversity of Australia in the distinctive programs we commission, and providing pathways through a range of initiatives for creatives under-represented in our sector. We believe the Australian screen sector can be lifted to even greater heights when everyone who wants to participate has equal opportunity to succeed.
