At Downer, our approach to diversity is what sets us apart.
Our people can be their best by bringing their most authentic selves to work every day. Our Diversity and Inclusion strategy reflects this.
Our partnerships
- WGEA
- Professional Women’s Network
- Australian Association of Graduate Employers
- Australian Human Resources Institute
- Diversity Council of Australia
We recognise that flexibility is different for everyone. We are committed to creating an environment which allows our people to balance work with other aspects of their life.
We support all types of families. Our parental leave reflects this and is available to eligible parents after having a child.
We are committed to creating a culture of equal opportunity and success. The way we work reflects this.
Pay equity is achieved when people performing the same role are paid the same amount, and people performing different work of equal or comparable value are paid equitably. Downer is a proud WGEA Pay Equity Ambassador and continues to be compliant by meeting its reporting obligations.
We strive to achieve a diverse and skilled workforce that fosters a culture characterised by inclusive practices and behaviours for the benefit of our people. Our inclusive workplace enables our people to feel valued, integrated and included in our team.
