Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employment

We tailor our services to suit our candidate and employers needs, so our services are not rigid. Some of the support we've offered to employers and candidates previously include:

• Having routine catch ups with your case worker during onboarding
• Mentorship and coaching
• Training, accreditation, and completing checks to qualify for specific roles
• Sustenance and protection provided for physically demanding jobs (e.g. hydrolates, sunscreen, food vouchers etc.)

To view more detailed examples of the support we offer see our case studies. We also adapt our support to suit the lores, traditions, and customs our Indigenous candidate recognises, for examples of these please view our cultural protocols page.

An Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment strategy provides workforce solutions during recruitment, onboarding, and ongoing retention. It enables businesses to provide opportunities to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, as well as setting them and the business up for success moving forward.

For our clients that actively want to increase Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment we can provide support with our employment strategy. Here are some examples of how we can collaborate with our clients to support on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment strategies:

• Share our recruitment strategy intended to minimise bias and be culturally appropriate
• Adjust our approach to meet any commitments and requirements within a company's RAP
• Mediate between candidate and employer to ensure cultural protocols are met
• Provide support and advice on approaching cultural differences
