Diversity & Inclusion


Together we belong

We’re shaping a culture where our people feel genuinely valued, safe and supported to bring their whole selves to work, every day. And we want you to feel that sense of belonging from the moment you join us.

Our approach focuses on creating a welcoming culture, providing fair access to opportunities, always striving to do better, and staying accountable for the progress we make. Inclusive policies, committed leadership, trusted partners - and most importantly, our people – guide everything that we do.

Our communities

Our employee-led communities represent the many experiences, identities and perspectives that make up CityFibre. We’ve made them open, accessible and barrier-free – no sign-ups. Just safe, supportive spaces where we can explore new topics, connect over shared experiences and drive meaningful change together. Every community forms part of our Connected Voices network, bringing our people together to amplify the conversations that matter.

LGBT+

Our LGBT+ community fosters a culture of respect, equality and pride across CityFibre. It’s a welcoming space for colleagues to drive positive change, share experiences, explore issues affecting LGBT+ people and access confidential support.

Gender

Our Gender community is helping to shape meaningful change across our business. By challenging stereotypes, encouraging open and honest conversations, and creating a space to share experiences, they are addressing gender-based barriers to inclusion, helping our people feel seen, supported and valued.

Armed Forces

Our Armed Forces community champions the contribution that our reservists, veterans, CFAVs and military families bring to CityFibre. It offers support, mentorship and camaraderie for colleagues joining us as they move directly from military to civilian life.

D.A.N.C.E

D.A.N.C.E stands for Disability, Age, Neurodivergence, Carers and Equity, and as a community they come together to share knowledge, offer support to our peers and champion continuous improvement. They’re driving impactful change and helping everyone feel seen, heard and included as we build a culture of respect and equality together.

Cultural Inclusion

Our Cultural Inclusion community celebrates all the different people that make up CityFibre. It’s a space for open, authentic conversations, where we share experiences, learn together and explore the cultural nuances that shape how we navigate the world around us - empowering every culture, every background and every story.

Uplift

Uplift is a supportive community that empowers our people to take charge of their own mental health, breaking down the barriers that affect our wellbeing, at work and at home, so that we all have the chance to thrive.

Progress through partnership

The partnerships we choose matter. They push us to learn and grow, guiding us to turn our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion into action that makes a real difference.
