Paul was instrumental in creating “StraightTalk”, an initiative that provides a safe space for identifying employees to be their authentic selves. He also organized the company’s representation in the 2019 & 2021 Perth Pride Parades. This involved mobilizing senior leadership to sponsor and march alongside the float. Paul is particularly passionate about promoting LGBTQ+ inclusion in STEM-related industries. He played a crucial role in creating and was secretary for the newly formed National InterEngineer Organization, which advocates for diversity and inclusion within the STEM fields in Australia.

This included his tenure on the Pride WA board as a committee member and his contribution to improving the livelihoods of the LGBTQ+ community during COVID. Paul is also an advocate for inclusion within sports with being one of the core members who helped facilitated the formation of an inclusive touch rugby team within Perth.
