At QBE, we pride ourselves on fostering an environment where all our employees can be their true authentic self.

We are proud to be an industry leader in LGBTIQ+ Inclusion. We've received Platinum Employer status for the third consecutive year (2023, 2024 and 2025) in the 2025 Australian Workplace Equality Index (AWEI). Read about our awards.

To support our LGBTIQ+ employees, we offer:

  • Paid gender affirmation leave.
    • Members of QBE Pride
  • The opportunity to join the very active LGBTIQ+ pride network 'QBE Pride', offering access to various, initiatives including development opportunities, support resources for both LGBTIQ+ and allies, virtual and in-person events.
  • Access to Share the Care, our gender-neutral flexible paid parental leave policy supporting families of all shapes and sizes.
  • Dedicated support for LGBTIQ+ applicants who are applying for roles with QBE. We recognise that for some LGBTIQ+ people this can be a daunting process. To actively support you, our QBE Pride Team are available to answer your questions and share their experience of our LGBTIQ+ inclusive culture.
