Culturally and linguistically diverse
We value and celebrate the diversity of our people. Cultural background, race, religion, and language spoken with family are important layers of identity. It’s these different experiences, backgrounds and perspectives that makes us an inclusive place to work.
Ready to join an organisation that supports you for who you are?
Strength in diversity
We want you to bring 100% of yourself to work each day. To bring your uniqueness, your experiences and your perspectives. It’s why we’re cultivating a workplace that is as diverse as the community we serve.
We want our culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) employees to connect, share experiences and work together to shape an inclusive workplace.
It’s the diversity within our employees that can drive innovation through diverse thought and experiences. As part of our commitment to provide a safe workplace for culturally and linguistically diverse people, we:
- celebrate our cultural differences
- provide language support when needed
- increase awareness of inclusive language within the workplace
- share and communicate lived experiences to raise awareness of unique perspectives.
At Water Corporation, there is a place for everyone to belong, to thrive and feel supported.
