Inclusion & Diversity
We are committed to providing an environment which enables everyone to succeed. In doing so we are committed to enabling underrepresented groups, including members of the Indigenous community, the LGBTQIA+ community, people living with disabilities and women, to access the opportunities they deserve.
ACTUS is committed to increasing the presence of Indigenous workers at the workplace and creating diverse environments that represent the local community. We know from experience that having skilled and supported Indigenous workers as part of our team is good for both business and the community. Our aim is to work with a wide network of like-minded businesses and communities to increase Indigenous participation in the workforce. We are always open to partnering with new organisations that share our commitment.
To ensure we live up to our promises, we've embedded diversity in our everyday activities…
