Telethon Kids statement on Marriage Equality

Telethon Kids Institute believes that everyone has the right to be treated with equal respect, to feel included and not be subjected to discrimination. Everyone should have equal opportunities in life.

In our workplace, we encourage diversity and respect. Examples of this include our signing up to the Athena SWAN Charter and our Statement of Commitment to Aboriginal Children and Families, but in other ways we aim to ensure that women, Indigenous people, all people from diverse backgrounds, as well as underrepresented groups, are best positioned to reach their full potential.

In this same spirit of diversity, inclusivity, respect and tolerance, Telethon Kids Institute also supports marriage equality, believing that all couples who love each other should have the same rights to marriage.

Yours sincerely,

Professor Jonathan Carapetis
Director
