Diversity and Inclusion
We take pride in our skilled, capable, committed, and enthusiastic workforce who support and accept each other and the communities they work in. To maintain this commitment, our management team reviews and sets objectives supporting diversity and helping those in our community who need it most. These objectives, training and reviews are all guided by our established suite of policies and procedures.

Cultural Awareness
We provide training to ensure our people understand how a person’s culture may influence their values, behaviours, beliefs and basic assumptions, along with developing strategies for bridging cultural gaps. Training encourages staff to recognise cultural characteristics and issues without forgetting it is always important to identify individual needs and preferences and remember that no individual can be reduced to a set of cultural norms.
Memberships
We hold memberships for Supply Nation. We are invested in pursuing the opportunities these memberships offer us, leveraging them to increase our awareness and operational capabilities. Our membership with Supply Nation is a proactive step towards the implementation of our company’s Indigenous Participation Plan fosters our efforts to enable people with disability the opportunity to succeed in our organisation.
Indigenous-Inspired Uniform
Designed by our Indigenous artist Lani and comes from a place of respect and admiration for the Australian Indigenous community at large. Our motivation to protect all members of the community is paramount and we strive to reflect and embrace all elements of community diversity through all areas of service.
Our Indigenous-inspired uniform reflects this ambition – to take small steps along the path to reconciliation, respect and being responsible to shape a positive future for all.

Pride-Inspired Uniform
This uniform enhances our celebration of diversity. We have commissioned our Pride-inspired uniform tops which our staff proudly wear on appropriate occasions. We have been providing services to the annual Melbourne Pride March for many years and have a strong connection to all members of the LGBTQI community who gather to celebrate their identities.
With pride and appreciation, we have created a symbolic gesture of support for all members of the Australian community.
