Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people

We want more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to join us and become part of our community.

At Transport, we want more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people to join us and become part of our community.



We offer secure, meaningful careers, with on-the-job training and opportunities that support people to move forward and upward in their careers.

We value the distinct skills, experience and knowledge of Aboriginal people and respect that honouring connections with country and community is central to their lives.

What we're doing

We have prioritised a range of projects to attract and support Aboriginal people, including those in senior leadership roles. These include:

  • Leadership opportunities
  • Mentoring and sponsorship opportunities
  • Secondments
  • Networking    
  • Succession planning
  • Fast-tracking opportunities

We have plans in place to support diversity, fairness and flexibility, and both our Executive and people managers have goals to support the increased representation and retention of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

And we offer a range of entry points for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, including school-based scholarships, full-time traineeships, cadetship and scholar opportunities, as well as general recruitment and senior service roles.
