Very supportive to parents and families. There is also a food mix of women, ethnic minorities, etc, but this seems to be very aggregated in certain groups/ services- not so much integrated or dispersed across the department.

There is strong high level effort to practice and implement these. My supervisor is excellent too. My team is fairly diverse, especially considering our work. I have informally heard good things about maternity leave options.

There are many initiatives for inclusivity, as well as apparel to show that you are an ally. I believe there is both maternity and parental leave available
Graduate, Adelaide - 12 Oct 2022
Lots of policy and programs in place to support diversity.

I am Autistic and I know they seem to be well across some of the challenges I may have in the workplace. A lot of people are quite open about their identities which makes me think it is a diverse place to work.

Diversity seems to be good, there is not equal representation but that would be impossible to achieve organically. Rention is a massive issue as most people tend to leave for employment with contractors on higher wages. I had access to parental leave which was great.

As being an ethnic minority myself, experience I had with my company could be used as a successful example. Everyone respects each other well and occasionally share different culture.

Working on it. Have active plans in place to improve in areas. Different parts of the organisation are at different maturity, but I think overall it's fairly accepting of diversity.

Maternity and paternity leave entitlements are great. I have not run into any issues being a woman in defence.
