Supporting trans and gender diverse candidates through EY’s recruitment process
We understand it can be daunting for candidates to disclose their LGBTQ+ identity when applying for a job, especially if they’re gender diverse. EY fully supports people to bring their whole selves to work, but if you would like to talk to someone specifically about how your sexual orientation or gender identity will be handled through the recruitment process, please contact InclusiveRecruitment@au.ey.com.

Pride in Practice
Since 2024, the EY organisation has been honoured to present at the Pride in Practice conference, Australia’s national conference dedicated to LGBTQ+ workplace inclusion. In 2024, we delivered “LGBT‑Q and A’s on Data Collection in Inclusion Interventions,” sharing our approach to LGBTQ+ data collection, intersectionality, and using data to inform inclusive strategies. In 2025, we presented “Pride on a Shoestring: Big Impact Without the Spend,” highlighting how grassroots, low‑ and no‑cost initiatives across Oceania can drive meaningful inclusion, while challenging assumptions that higher spend always leads to greater impact.
I’ve been with the EY organisation for many years and have always found it to be the workplace where I have felt most able to be myself, and that is largely down to the role played by LGBTQ+ allies. At the EY organisation, we talk a lot about building a better working world. For people from the LGBTQ+ community, that starts with being able to bring their whole selves to work without fear. Allyship is how we make that possible. It’s listening with curiosity, challenging bias when we see it, and standing beside our colleagues — not just when it’s easy, but when it matters most.
