Following recent changes to departmental responsibilities, the functions of the former Department of Treaty, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships, Communities and the Arts are transitioning to new departments. Work is underway to update departments’ websites.

Diversity Figures snapshot and report

In addition to the Search Diversity Queensland interactive search tool, the Queensland Government compiled the Diversity Figures Snapshot and accompanying Diversity Figures Report to illustrate the unique features of our diverse population.

The report and snapshot bring together core demographic and diversity data from the ABS 2021 Census of Population and Housing.

There are several social and cultural characteristics featured in the Diversity figures including:

  • country of birth of overseas born people in Queensland
  • geographic distribution of Queensland's diverse population
  • language spoken other than English, and English proficiency
  • religious affiliation and ancestry of Queensland's population
  • education and employment characteristics.

Cultural acknowledgement

We pay our respects to the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ancestors of this land, their spirits and their legacy. The foundations laid by these ancestors—our First Nations peoples—give strength, inspiration and courage to current and future generations towards creating a better Queensland.

Our human rights commitment

We will respect, protect and promote human rights within our decision-making and actions.
