Our Networks

Hachette Australia is dedicated to being the publisher and employer of choice for all people, regardless of age, faith, disability, race, gender, sexuality, or socio-economic background. Our ambition is for our team, our publishing, and our authors to be fully reflective of the society we live in.

This is a commitment that sits at the heart of our diversity and inclusion program, Changing the Story; one of the four pillars of our business strategy.

Changing the Story is a unique Hachette global program of policies, partnerships, and initiatives designed to foster greater diversity and inclusion.


Our Employee Networks

As part of this endeavour, we are proud of the ways in which our people-led employee networks are driving positive change within the company, fostering a better workplace for all, and creating stronger engagement with all Australians to help discover new talent and new voices.

Our networks are people-led, voluntary, and open to everyone who works here. Our networks work closely with our leadership and HR team, and together their mission is to foster communities of inclusion and belonging through the creation of safe spaces for our people to share their realities, raise awareness and explore topics that matter to them.
