I am honoured to be the new Chair of ASIC’s Diversity Council and I thank former Commissioner Danielle Press for her valuable work in this role.
My commitment is to inspire, lead, and unite ASIC’s people to deliver on our Diversity and Inclusion Strategy 2023–25. We will hold ourselves and one another accountable, challenge assumptions, and learn from each other along the way.
Together, we will continue to build a workplace at ASIC where every employee feels safe and supported to share their perspective, is recognised and celebrated for their differences, and comes to work every day proud of the work they do and the organisation they do it for.
The benefits of doing so are numerous and clear. A diverse and inclusive workplace creates a vibrant, welcoming, collaborative and innovative environment for employees, encourages others to join us, and enhances connection with our partners and communities.
Ultimately, it plays a crucial role in enabling us to deliver on our vision of a fair, strong and efficient financial system for all Australians.
I look forward to driving ASIC’s progress towards a strong and equitable future for all our people.
Kate O'Rourke,
Commissioner 2023 – present
