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 (PDF 18MB) 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

People with disability

We have a longstanding commitment to creating an inclusive organisation for people with disability. Our Accessibility and Inclusion Plan has been developed with our employee network and leaders from across the business and describes our commitments to improving access and inclusion for people with disability. This includes providing accessible employment opportunities, workplaces, products and services. The plan is available in alternative formats on our publications page.

Australia Post is a member of the Australian Network on Disability and has successfully completed the Disability Confident Recruiter program to provide an inclusive experience for candidates with disability.
