Workplace giving
Below are DCA's charities of choice that support workplace diversity:
Suited for Work
Suited For Work is an incorporated, not for profit association run by volunteers. It’s mission is to support women experiencing difficulties in achieving self-sufficiency and financial independence.
Suited For Work provides appropriate clothing and styling advice for women who may be seeking to re-enter the workforce after a period of unemployment, women who may need to dress formally for a range of other situations such as appearance in court, attending a funeral, returning to the community after a period of imprisonment or any other circumstances when access to our service would make a difference.
Suited For Work can also provide support in terms of building confidence for a job interview, resume writing assistance or simply a friendly, supportive environment for women who may just need a little extra help to move forward.
ACON
ACON is Australia’s largest community-based GLBT health and HIV/AIDS organisation. It promotes the health and wellbeing of NSW’s gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender (GLBT) community. It also provides information, support and advocacy for people living with HIV or at risk of acquiring HIV, including sex workers and people who use drugs.
In partnership with the National LGBT Health Alliance (part of ACON), DCA will launch a new LGBT Corporate Equality Index project, called Pride in Diversity, designed to promote employers who show leadership and a demonstrated commitment to workplace diversity. DCA members will be invited to participate.
