Creating a more inclusive Melbourne Market
The Melbourne Market is a unique environment made up of people from diverse backgrounds. It’s a great place where people work hard, look out for one another, are generous, and enjoy having a laugh together – and for many of us, it’s where we spend a considerable amount of our waking hours.
For this reason, we want a Melbourne Market where everyone feels included, where people feel safe and are treated with respect. The Melbourne Market should be a place free of racism, sexism, discrimination, harassment, violence and bullying - and currently, feedback from many of you suggests we need to do better as a market community.
The Melbourne Market Authority is launching a new market-wide initiative to look at our culture to create a more inclusive and respectful Melbourne Market for everyone, where people are proud to work and trade.
We invite you to participate in this future vision of the Melbourne Market. We’re looking for a range of people, from business principals to employees, sellers and buyers alike, to volunteer to join a working group that will lead this cultural change with the MMA. Our working group members will come together for an hour once every 8-10 weeks to share advice and perspectives and test ideas to develop the strategy. Ultimately, we want your input in setting the goals and objectives that will create a more inclusive Melbourne Market.
If you are interested in learning more or getting involved in this important project, please email submissions@melbournemarket.com.au
