About us

Where inclusive ideas come to life

The Inclusive Lab is an Australian owned and operated rainbow family business creating products, resources and services that help make inclusion easier, brighter and more practical.

We are proudly intersectional. That means we understand that inclusion is never just about one part of who someone is. People can be LGBTQIA+, disabled, neurodivergent, culturally diverse, First Nations, older, younger, carers, parents, workers, learners and community members all at once.

That is why our work is designed to celebrate the full mix of people, families and communities around us.

Our story

The Inclusive Lab was created by a rainbow forever family with lived experience of disability, parenting, diverse culture, community advocacy and inclusion work.

Our family story shapes what we do. We know how powerful it can be when children see themselves reflected in toys, books, learning resources and everyday spaces. We also know how much it matters when workplaces, schools, sports and communities move beyond good intentions and make inclusion visible, practical and real.

Before creating The Inclusive Lab, our founders helped lead marriage equality campaigning in Regional NSW and have spent many years working across LGBTQIA+ inclusion, disability inclusion, community engagement, education, advocacy and organisational change.

Our team brings both personal and professional lived experience. We do not approach inclusion as a trend or a tick box. We approach it as something that affects real people, real families and real communities every day.

What we do

The Inclusive Lab creates colourful and practical inclusion concoctions for people, workplaces, sports, schools and communities.

Some of our current work includes:

• Inclusive toys and learning resources

• Pride flags, pins and visibility products

• Diversity and inclusion calendars

• Campaign ideas and awareness day resources

• Inclusion consulting and education support

• Practical tools for workplaces, schools, sports and community groups

Our product range is still growing, but our purpose is clear. We want to help people feel seen, respected and included.

Why it matters

Inclusion does not have to be complicated.

Sometimes it starts with a flag on a desk, a doll that reflects disability, a resource that uses the right language, a calendar that helps people plan meaningful conversations, or a workplace that takes the time to learn.

Small things can send big messages.

They can say:

• You are welcome here.

• Your family matters.

• Your identity is respected.

• Your experience is real.

• You belong.

That is the kind of everyday inclusion we want to help create.

Our approach

We make inclusion practical, friendly and easy to understand.

We believe good inclusion work should be:

• Clear

• Useful

• Accessible

• Warm

• Evidence informed

• Connected to real people’s lives

We also believe inclusion should have a bit of colour, joy and imagination. After all, this is The Inclusive Lab. It is a place where ideas bubble away, new resources are tested, and inclusive concoctions come to life.
