Diversity and Inclusion
Austrade is committed to providing a work environment where staff can
confidently bring their full selves to work. A truly diverse agency is one
that is capable of retaining a broad talent base while best serving its
clients and connecting to its global network of employees.
The Diversity and Inclusion Strategy sets out how Austrade will continue to
build a space where everyone can bring their perspectives, creativity, and
skills to the work of the agency. It is the roadmap for how Austrade will
strengthen its position as an employer of choice.
Given our commitment to diversity and inclusion, Austrade actively
encourages applications from people with disabilities, LGBTIQ people,
women, and people with diverse linguistic and cultural backgrounds.
We also recognise the richness of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
cultures and the unique knowledge Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander
employees bring to our workplace. As such, we welcome and encourage
applications from Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander people for
vacancies in the agency.
International Women's Day
Austrade proudly celebrated International Women's Day with an engaging Austrade Live Session hosted by Ana Nishnianidze and ModiBodi CEO and Export Award Winner Kristy Chong.
In this video, Kristy takes us back to 2011 to the moments that sparked her ambition for ModiBodi and what it was like to start her brand.
Now almost 10 years on, having built a brand and range of products that empower women and has reduced landfill, Kristy provides insights on the challenges that exist for female entrepreneurs and what they can do to navigate them.
The Gender Diversity Champions Daniel Boyer and Ana Nishnianidze bring together Austrade staff who are passionate about finding and promoting solutions to gender-based workplace challenges.
