2025 Business in Colour Awards
Honouring extraordinary leadership in race and cultural inclusion at work
The 2025 MindTribes Business in Colour Awards will celebrate and honour individuals, leaders, allies and organisations driving real, measurable change in racial and cultural equity within Australian workplaces and organisations.

Let’s raise the bar on racial and cultural inclusion — together.
Why Business in Colour Awards?
We’ve seen growing recognition for gender equity and LGBTQIA+ inclusion — but race and cultural inclusion still struggle to be seen, valued, and rewarded in the same way.
These awards close that gap.
We’ll spotlight excellence, showcase what good looks like, and honour those changing systems, not just stories.
Whether you lead, sponsor, advocate, or research — if you’re driving impact in race and cultural equity, this is your platform.
Seats strictly limited. 200 Tickets Available.
