Benefits of working for us
At the Department of Women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Partnerships and Multiculturalism we value the skills and insights of a diverse and inclusive workforce that reflects the communities we serve.
We welcome the rich insights and different perspectives that arise from diverse personalities, ethnic and racial origins, cultures, socioeconomic backgrounds, sexual orientations, ages and life experience. Being flexible, adaptable and open to learning and to change, requires a mindset of humility, respect and curiosity. We aim to foster an environment ensuring cultural integrity and psychological and cultural safety where individuals can flourish.
Integral to achieving this is building a workplace culture which understands, values and respects Aboriginal peoples’ and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ knowledge, systems and cultures.
Your contribution will make a real difference to the lives of those in communities. The Queensland Government is reframing its relationship with Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples. This can only be achieved by working in partnership as we move forward together with mutual respect and recognition of our shared history.
We are committed to ensuring we treat one another with respect and our operations are free from all forms of harassment, workplace bullying, discrimination and violence.
