Employment
As one of
Australia’s largest employers, we are continuing to provide sustainable
employment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. As at 30 June
2020, 1,858 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander team members worked in our
businesses. This equates to 1.9 per cent of our Australian workforce. This
figure includes all full-time and part-time Indigenous team members and casual
team members who have worked a shift within the 30-day period prior to
reporting. We recognise that we have work to do to achieve our target of
employment parity of three per cent of our Australian workforce by 2022.
We are committed to providing opportunities to Indigenous people
to expand their careers. Currently, high potential Indigenous team members are
identified and developed through existing talent management processes. During
the 2021 financial year, we will focus on deliberate strategies for increasing
Indigenous people in leadership positions. We will continue to develop our
partnership with CareerTrackers to
form pathways for young Indigenous professionals into our business.
