We welcome difference
We’re passionate about strengthening relationships and appreciating a variety of ideas and opinions. This means supporting an inclusive environment in and out of the workplace by:

Attracting and retaining people
Our people have skills, experiences and capabilities from a range of backgrounds.

Developing an inclusive culture
We encourage a workplace where people feel they belong and their unique contribution is valued.

Connecting with customers and communities
It's important to us that customers and communities are heard and respected.

Fostering innovation
We leverage the experience and ideas of our people and embrace different viewpoints.
Our latest Diversity and Inclusion Annual Report (PDF 5.6MB) describes our most recent efforts to build a more diverse and inclusive workplace.
We’re working towards a barrier-free recruitment process. If you require assistance at any stage of recruitment, including alternative formats to the application process, please contact us at inclusivecareers@auspost.com.au.

Gender
We have a proven record in improving gender balance at all levels of leadership and in traditionally male-dominated areas. We’re remaining committed to improving gender balance and investing in initiatives such as:
- leadership and career programs – supporting development and advancement of our female talent
- mentoring and sponsorship – developing our next generation of leaders
- networking – to foster business collaboration and raise the profile of our female leaders
- flexibility – providing fulfilling and flexible careers

Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders
Acknowledging the traditional owners of this land, their ancestors, elders and the commitment to reconciliation with Indigenous Australians is very important to us. We have a long and proud history of providing employment and career development, building sustainable business growth in partnership, and supporting economic participation of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Our current Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan provides more extensive details of our commitment to reconciliation.
Reconciliation to us means:
- working in partnership across our business to achieve parity in our workforce for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- addressing inequality to create positive social change, by working with the strength and resilience of community
- supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander business to innovate, grow and succeed
- connecting Australia’s most remote communities and country towns to anywhere on the globe
- showing respect and earning respect of others
- acknowledging Traditional Custodians by welcoming customers to include a Traditional Place name when addressing.
We offer Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander traineeships and other opportunities

LGBTI+
We proudly welcome and support people of any sexual orientation, gender identity or intersex status.
Our PostPride network of LGBTI+ employees and allies has grown over the past few years to many hundreds of people.
We support events such as:
- Midsumma Festival in Victoria
- International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia (IDAHOBIT)
- Wear It Purple Day
Our people have marched under the PostPride banner at Pride marches in Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Dubbo, and have participated in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Fair Day.

Culturally and linguistically diverse
We have one of the most culturally and linguistically diverse workforces in Australia. By enhancing the skills and capability of our people, we aim to break down language and cultural barriers and provide career fulfilment. Our key initiatives include:
- mentoring
- cultural awareness
- career management
- language and literacy
We’re also a proud sponsor of ‘A Taste of Harmony’, an event we celebrate nationally in our offices, facilities and retail outlets to embrace our different cultures.

People with a disability

This includes providing accessible employment opportunities, products and services.
