Desired diversity within priority groups, including Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander peoples (ATSI), women, people of different ages, people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds (CALD), people with disabilities (PWD), and gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and intersex people (GLBTI).
