Benefits for your business
Having a diverse workplace that welcomes Indigenous employees means your business can grow with the unique perspectives, experiences and knowledge that local Aboriginal people can bring to your team.
Whether it is by offering employment, providing work experience, or becoming a workplace of choice; employing local Indigenous people into your workplace will show your willingness to support cultural diversity by employing locally - it also helps achieve greater economic results for the entire region too.
