About the Indigenous Employment Strategy

The University of Sydney is committed to creating a work environment in which the unique, rich, and diverse cultural backgrounds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are acknowledged and valued. The University also wishes to ensure that individual career goals and personal aims of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees are identified, promoted, achieved and celebrated.

The University's Indigenous Employment Strategy seeks to attract and retain Indigenous people to academic and professional staff careers. It encompasses a host of initiatives and culturally-friendly practices that demonstrate our commitment to Indigenous employment. This includes working with faculties and other areas to create opportunities for Indigenous people, such as cadetships, apprenticeships and traineeships, as well as academic and professional staff employment.
