Diversity and inclusion

See how Austrade’s diverse workforce reflects today’s Australia and the world we trade with.

Austrade connects Australian businesses to the world and the world to Australian business. As a globally dispersed and diverse agency, our people bring a broad range of backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and skills that help us deliver better outcomes for Australia's businesses and communities. 

We are committed to fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued, respected, safe and empowered to contribute. We recognise diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging as essential to building a high-performing organisation that reflects the diverse communities, businesses and markets we serve. 

This commitment is reflected in our values, that focus on Generosity of Spirit and Collaboration, and also in our employee experience. Austrade's employee census results have remained consistently strong, with key inclusion measures recording results above 90% in recent years. This demonstrates the strong foundation we have built and continue to strengthen across the agency. 

By embracing diversity and creating an inclusive workplace, we:

  • foster innovation, collaboration and better decision-making 
  • attract, develop and retain talented people 
  • support employee wellbeing, engagement and a sense of belonging
  • create equitable and accessible opportunities for employees to succeed
  • strengthen our ability to understand and respond to the needs of diverse clients, communities and global markets.
