An inclusive city for all Canberrans


The ACT Government is proud of our city’s reputation as a fair, welcoming and inclusive community that celebrates diversity in all its forms. Through our policies, programs and Budget investments, we are committed to creating equal opportunities by supporting and empowering all Canberrans as our city continues to grow.

We are a stronger community when everyone can participate to their full potential.

The 2018 Budget delivers on our vision for social inclusion by boosting our investment in targeted services and programs that meet the individual needs of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Canberrans, children and young people, Canberrans with disability and culturally and linguistically diverse communities. We are also strengthening the visibility and inclusion of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer Canberrans, seniors, women and veterans through new initiatives in this Budget.
