Visibly diverse workforce and a focus on flexibility and diversity in training/recruitment processes, etc. Much less visible diversity in upper levels of management.
Graduate, Sydney
Our office is predominantly women, and has lots of flexibility for parents etc. From what I have seen everyone is very accepting and creates a safe working environment.
Graduate, Sydney
I am not too sure about all the commitments my company has to diversity as I don't hear/see too much on it day-to-day in the office. I know there are certain departments/committees whose role is to meet/encourage diversity but I don't see too much of it everyday.

I am of Aboriginal Australian descent. I had an independent employee of Aboriginal descent attend my structured recruitment interview to assist with asking questions and assessing my responses against the job criteria.

I work in Transforming Aboriginal Outcomes, so that's a very important part of my work. I'm sure other areas of government may be different.
Graduate, Sydney
Diversity is a huge priority in the NSW government. It is expected that everyone treats all others with respect, regardless of any differences. There are proactive programs to ensure this is embodied, rather than just lip service. There are groups for LGBTIQA+ staff, staff with a disability, those from different cultural backgrounds and more. This commitment to diversity manifests itself in every aspect of the workplace, including the recruitment process.
Graduate, Sydney
In my experience there are more women than men, and many women in management positions. I've seen women be well-supported as they returned from maternity leave. There is also lots of ethnic diversity.
