Aboriginal Employment

The City is committed to the ongoing employment of Indigenous employees across a range of job types from traineeships, apprenticeships, and from administration to positions that require tertiary qualifications.

Our commitment is based on the fact Indigenous Australians bring with them a wealth of experience, expertise, knowledge and skills that will inform, enrich and fundamentally improve the work that we do. We want our workforce to be reflective of all the citizens of our community.

The Reconciliation Action Plan strategy broadly aims increase the percentage of indigenous workforce with a focus on the recruitment and retention of Indigenous employees through:

  • identifying entry level positions within the City’s business units
  • encouraging suitable qualified Indigenous employees to apply for vacancies
  • encouraging the recruitment of Indigenous staff to all business units of the City
  • develop and retain our Indigenous staff through professional development opportunities by creating a culturally safe and inclusive work environment.

The 嫩草影院 promotes a workplace that actively seeks to include, welcome and value unique contributions of all people. The City is age friendly and encourages people with disabilities, Indigenous Australians, and people from culturally diverse backgrounds to apply.

All vacancies including traineeships and apprenticeships are advertised on the current  page.

Work Placements

The City appreciates our social responsibility to contribute to the education and development of the community’s future workforce. One of the ways which we are able to do this is by offering work placement opportunities to eligible applicants across a variety of departments. However, we can only offer unpaid work placements to students enrolled in a vocation training program (such as high school, TAFE or University) and it is a requirement of this program to undertake a professional placement or to clients of a workplace rehabilitation services provider.

  • Be a secondary or tertiary student or be participating in a return to work program
  • Be required to complete relevant nominal hours of practical experience as part of your study or program
  • Have a specific work area in mind
  • Have a specific timeframe you need to be placed for
  • Be provided with insurance coverage by your educational institution or your rehabilitation organisation.
