The LGBTQIA+ talent is there. Senior leadership still doesn’t reflect it. Let’s talk about why. 🏳️🌈
#Queers in Property is proud to partner with the #Property Council of Australia for LGBTQIA+ Visibility and Leadership Pathways on Wednesday 17 June — an industry lunch bringing together sector leaders to examine what’s holding queer professionals back from the top, and what genuine progress actually looks like.
LGBTQIA+ professionals contribute at every level of the property sector. Yet senior leadership rarely reflects that depth of talent. The barriers are structural, they take hold early, and they cast a long shadow — shaping who rises, who is sponsored, and who is seen.
This event cuts through the rhetoric and gets practical — with a keynote from Queers in Property offering a sector-wide temperature check and practical takeaways, followed by a panel of leaders with real experience navigating and championing inclusion at the highest levels.
Hosted by #Nicole Battley (she/her), Diversity and Inclusion Director, Property Council of Australia, our panelists include:
🔸 #Adam Williams (he/him) — Executive Director Development VIC, #Lendlease
🔸 #Benjamin Crough (he/him) — Inclusion, Diversity & Equity Manager, #John Holland
🔸 #Hannah Harvey (she/her) — COO, #Housing Choices Australia
🔸 #Nicki Hay (she/her) — Co-CEO, #Core Projects VIC
Whether you’re navigating your own path to leadership, championing others in your organisation, or ready to be in the room where this conversation is happening — come along. All are welcome.
