We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people looking to start or continue their career in mining to Think Big with BHP. At BHP, we support our people to grow, learn, develop their skills, and reach their potential.

Many of our operations are located on or near lands traditionally owned by or under the customary use of Indigenous Peoples, and the long-term nature of our operations allows us to establish long-lasting relationships with these Indigenous communities.
