Diversity Speakers Bureau

BRMC's Diversity Speakers Bureau connects organisations with speakers who share lived experiences of migration, settlement, culture, and identity.

Speakers support learning through storytelling, discussion, and facilitated conversations that build understanding and challenge assumptions.

Engagements can be tailored to different audiences and settings, including workplaces, schools, community forums, and events. Speakers are supported by BRMC and work within clear guidelines to ensure sessions are respectful, purposeful, and aligned with organisational objectives.
