intertwine is a registered harm prevention charity and takes a primary prevention approach to help organisations understand the underlying drivers of social violence and dismantle the systemic power structures that create marginalisation and oppression. 

By creating the circumstances for gender equity, cultural and racial justice, freedom of sexuality and gender identity and a social model of disability, together we will build communities, organisations and services that are inclusive and just, in a participatory society where all people have health, wellbeing, representation & self-determination.

intertwine has a staff, Board of Directors and Advisory Panel consisting entirely of people with lived experience/living expertise of intersecting disadvantage. It explicitly mentors and creates work for young people with lived experience of intersecting disadvantage.

This report provides an analysis of Islamophobia in Australia, with research data based on reported incidents. This report includes data from the inception of the Islamophobia Register in September 2014, until December 2021. 

You can download the executive summary and the full report below or on the Islamophobia register website (opens in new window). 

The fact sheet is designed to support individual and organisational conversations about the importance of keeping the focus of IDERD on mobilising against all forms and manifestations of racial discrimination and injustice. The fact sheet describes how ‘Harmony Week’ is an example of the way language can be used to reframe anti-racism, and operates to reinforce inequality and maintain the status quo.

In contrast, having proactive, open discussions about racism demonstrates a commitment to tackling racism when it occurs and preventing it in the future. A nuanced approach to discussing racism in the context of IDERD enables the development of more advanced racial awareness, and provides the space to strategise for change.

We hope this fact sheet assists you in taking the opportunity IDERD presents to meaningfully acknowledge Australia’s deep-seated issues with race and racism, question the various ways racism shapes our society, and redouble our commitment to anti-racism.

A PDF version of the fact sheet is available to download below.

The 2021-2022 Inclusion@Work Index maps the state of inclusion in Australian organisations and provides the Australian business case for inclusion. The Index highlights how workplace inclusion significantly increases performance and wellbeing, satisfaction and innovation – all factors that, when lacking, impact culture and could contribute to the 'great resignation' making its way to Australia.
