Diversity and inclusion
We believe a diverse and inclusive Australia encourages better relationships within communities and the workplace alike.

Gender
In 2020, women represented 36.9 per cent of our workforce and 38.4 percent of our senior managers. Our executive team has 44.4% female representation as does the Australia Post Board.

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
Just over 1,100 employees or 3.0 per cent of our employees identify as Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander or both at 30 June 2020.

LGBTI+
We proudly welcome and support people of any sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status. Some of our achievements include PostPride, network growth and sponsorship.

Culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD)
At 30 June 2020, 30 per cent of our workforce were from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. Our workforce is made up of people from 147 nations and 65 languages are spoken by people across our workforce.

People with a disability
We employed more than 2,000 people with disability at 30 June 2020. This represents 5.7 per cent of our total workforce.
Safety

Our safety programs
Zero injuries, zero harm and zero tolerance for unsafe acts and workplaces. This is our benchmark. To achieve this, we have comprehensive safety policies and management plans in place to make sure everybody’s covered.
Dog safety campaign
Specialised training programs have been trialled to teach posties how to read a dog's body language and safely manage canine encounters.
As a result, our posties have changed the way they interact with dogs.
Volunteering and workplace giving
We encourage our employees to contribute to the concerns and causes that are important to them through our Workplace Giving and Volunteering programs.

Volunteering
Our people love to give back to the communities in which they live and work. We help by connecting them with a range of organisations that rely on volunteers to deliver vital programs. We also identify programs that match wider team-building objectives. Employees can contact us at: community@auspost.com.au

Workplace giving
We know a great Workplace Giving program is a significant contributor to a positive work culture. By partnering with the industry leading platform Good2Give, we enable our employees to donate to any Australia charity with DGR status. In 2019/20, $841,642 was donated through our Workplace Giving program, an increase of $21,000 (up 2.5%) on last year. This was made up of $523,878 in employee donations and $317,763 in matched donations by Australia Post.

Workforce fundraising
Workforce fundraising activities are driven by individual people within our wider workforce. There are tens of thousands of charities and community organisations across Australia and it is not possible for Australia Post to work directly with all of them. Instead, we support our people by providing the right environment for fundraising in over 4,400 Australia Post workplaces.
