Our value of 'Belonging' means we embrace people from all walks of life and respect each other's opinions and capabilities. We are committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity.
It is well documented that the overall diversity we see in Australian society, whether it be gender expression, culture, ethnicity, sexuality, and/or ability, isn't accurately reflected in many workforces. Diversity in all its forms is shown to improve an organisation's ability to innovate, create, problem-solve, grow and so much more.
