Diversity at National Indigenous Australians Agency (NIAA)

There is a strong focus on diversity and inclusion at my workplace and plenty of support networks.

The Agency has separate application streams for First Nations and Disability applicants

From my observation there is a lot of support available for diversity and this agency's commitment to it in my opinion

As a First Nations person, there is still a long way to go in employing more First Nations people, particularly if you haven't achieved a university degree. Recruitment may include attracting mature aged people, with skills that will match the agencies work duties. Job agencies dont inform people about the agency either. I am eager to stay in the agency, but depends on locations and the culture of the placements, meaning Culturally competent staff and policies are in place. To have culturally appropriate health and wellbeing services on hand as well, during Sorry times or personal traumas.

I think that the company values the experiences of candidates, and this invites more perspectives and the likeliness of attracting applicants from less privileged backgrounds.

There are a number of entry level programs in place.

All Agency positions are "identified', and Affirmative Measure processes available for disability and First Nation applicants.
