By joining a network, support group or community, you'll get to know your peers while sharing experiences or focusing on important issues and topics of interest. You’ll be part of a supportive group of people working together to help make the Council a safe and inclusive organisation where we can be our authentic selves.
If there is something missing, we'll help you set up a network or support group.
