The anao is quite diverse. there are good representation of gender and race. a network of diversity contact officers promotes the importance of diversity at the anao, including supporting lgbtq+ communities. there are affirmative recruitment pathways for indigenous applicants.

Haven't seen any issues personally. not aware of any discrimination or bigotry occurring here.

Anao does this well however caution needs to be taken to promote a culture of genuine acceptance and diversity, rather than having annual events/speeches to "tick a box" in terms of demonstrating diversity.

Diversity is respected within my office, with many morning teas to support particular diversities. in addition, we have diversity contact officers across the anao.

Gender diversity seems to be the prominent issue. i am very disappointed with the lack of attention to the other types of diversity. with regard to gender equality the office is very flexible and encourages diversity.

I believe we exceed all expectations from a diversity point of view. we have more females in the office then we do men, and our leadership levels are predominantly female.

What does your company do to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds?

There are affirmative recruitment pathways for indigenous applicants. apart from this, i am not aware of particular efforts to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds.

Midlevel, Canberra - 28 Oct 2021

We are not able to accommodate much for less privileged applicants. regardless of social privilege, there is a certain level of education or work experience required that is likely to exclude many less privileged applicants.
