Our LGBTI+ and Ally employee network ATOMIC (ATO Making Inclusion Count) officially launched in 2016. Since then it has grown to over 1800 members around Australia in almost every office.
We celebrate International Day against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia as one of our corporate celebration days, and other LGBTI+ days of importance are acknowledged through ATOMIC.

In November 2017 ATOMIC won the employee network award under the Australian Public Service (APS) Diversity and Gender Awards. The APS Diversity and Gender Equality Awards recognise outstanding contributions to workplace diversity across the APS.

The ATO is proud to be recognised as one the leading APS agencies creating a workplace culture where LGBTI+ employees can bring their whole selves to work. As an APS agency our workforce must reflect the Australian Community we serve. We must therefore embed, nurture and grow a culture where everyone’s diversity is valued and people can succeed to the best of their ability.
