Australian astronomy is undergoing a great change in culture, diversity and inclusion through major nationwide and university-scale initiatives. These initiatives include prestigious women-only faculty hires, broad diversity targets, concrete activities to overcome implicit bias, and innovative initiatives to change the academic culture and environment. Many of these activities were precipitated by the Pleiades Awards programme run by the Astronomical Society of Australia and by initiatives developed within the Australia-wide Centres of Excellence in astrophysics. I provide an overview of the nationwide programmes that are making an important impact on diversity, culture and climate, and describe the most promising and innovative initiatives in Australian universities and institutions. The striking changes seen in Australian astronomy can be triggered in other countries by similar awards programmes initiated by national astronomical societies or Academies of Science.

通过在全国范围内和大学范围内的重大举措，澳大利亚天文学的文化，多样性和包容性正在发生巨大变化。这些举措包括享有声望的女性专任教师，广泛的多元化目标，克服隐性偏见的具体活动以及改变学术文化和环境的创新举措。其中许多活动是由澳大利亚天文学会举办的“ le宿星奖”计划以及在澳大利亚范围内的天体物理学卓越中心内制定的计划促成的。我概述了正在对多样性，文化和气候产生重要影响的全国性计划，并描述了澳大利亚大学和机构中最有希望和创新的计划。
