The Interactive Games and Entertainment Association (IGEA) has established a formal policy framework to mandate inclusion, diversity, equality, and accessibility standards across the Australian and New Zealand video game industry.
IGEA is restructuring its internal governance by appointing a dedicated Diversity Lead and committing to audit and dismantle existing inequities within its own policies.
The association is expanding diverse representation across its board and committees to ensure broader demographic inclusion in industry leadership.
Operational accessibility standards are being implemented for all IGEA communications, including the mandatory use of live captioning, Auslan interpretation, and alt-text.
The policy mandates the integration of Aboriginal cultural protocols, specifically requiring Welcome to Country ceremonies and Acknowledgement of Country, across industry engagements.
IGEA will utilize its position as a peak trade body to provide external resources and support for employers aiming to improve workplace inclusivity.
