Media Diversity Australia invites all media companies to embrace the storytelling power of Australia’s diverse cultural landscape.

As the nation’s most recognised advocacy body for cultural diversity and representation in media, MDA champions dynamic collaboration. We work alongside those seeking to make a change in a media industry that looks and sounds like Australia.

With a track record of driving systemic change and creating pathways, MDA is pleased to offer our diversity, equity, and inclusion expertise through our MDA Membership.

MDA’s bespoke membership program is for companies working across print, broadcast, digital, and everything in between. We empower members through our strategic insights and frameworks and translate our research and advocacy into practical, actionable, and genuine steps towards greater diversity and representation.

Member organisations benefit from MDA’s expert directory and TalentHub, strategic insights and frameworks, and practical tools we’ve developed to help enrich the mix of faces and voices Australians hear, see and read daily.

*Capped at 5 hours per annum, additional hours can be purchased at consultancy rate.

“Not only does MDA add and change the direction of discourse in our industry for the better, but they implement systemic changes that will benefit the future of media and the future of so many young journalists.”

“Working with Media Diversity Australia gave me a greater understanding of the need to seek out diversity and that people from diverse backgrounds don’t apply for jobs here if they don’t see themselves represented. Our 10 News First Perth newsroom hosted a summer intern through MDA. Hearing a young, hopeful journalist express how they never imagined being on a commercial station was eye-opening. Our intern brought us a new perspective and genuinely enriched our newsroom, she was also very talented. The whole experience was incredibly worthwhile.”

"With a long-renowed reputation for producing some of the industry's finest journalists, AAP's commitment to diversity has been supercharged by its association with Media Diversity Australia, a vital resource for recruitment and education strategies."
