Our Approach
We’re committed to creating a workplace that’s inclusive, supportive and where everyone feels they can belong. We understand that each individual is unique and we embrace our differences.
Together we respect and value the diversity of our people, clients, stakeholders and communities. We see difference as an opportunity to drive innovation and realise our strategic priorities and we believe that diversity and inclusion needs to be woven into the ways things are done.
We thrive on building a workplace where people are treated fairly and respectfully, have access to opportunities and resources, and can contribute fully to our success. It also makes Zinfra a great and interesting place to work.
A career with us will see you work with diverse, talented and committed team members, making a positive contribution to Australia’s energy infrastructure.
Our Plan
Our Diversity and Inclusion plan is aligned with our Group strategic approach and builds upon our foundations of developing the culture and behaviours necessary for an inclusive workplace.
Our focus is on three important areas:
Community Partnering
Inclusivity
Flexibility & Equity
Reconciliation Action Plan
We recognise that reconciliation is a journey for all Australians and that we all have a role to play. At Zinfra we are dedicated to having the right conversations and playing our part in this. Since 2020, we have been working with Reconciliation Australia to take meaningful action through dedicated Reconciliation Action Plans (RAPs) to advance reconciliation as a nation and build an inclusive environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
Innovate - 2024
We are thrilled to announce that our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) has been formally approved and endorsed by Reconciliation Australia.
When we started our journey towards reconciliation through the launch of our Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan in 2020, this resource became a key platform to help us gain a better understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples, cultures, and histories.
Our Innovate RAP builds on this progress and will see us embed cultural awareness and understanding across Zinfra, develop more opportunities for Indigenous employment, and engage Traditional Owners on our projects and in communities through our RAP theme and commitment of ‘Connecting to Country – Connecting with Community’.
As we embark on our Innovate RAP, we continue our vision for reconciliation and making Zinfra the place where everyone feels they belong.
Reflect - 2020
In 2020, we launched our inaugural Reflect Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP)
Our vision for reconciliation was and still is for our organisation to foster an inclusive environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. To achieve this:
We acknowledge the diversity and the valuable contribution of the First Nations peoples to Australian society.
We acknowledge the hurt, dislocation and disadvantage experienced by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and honour their strength and resilience.
We will continue to build an inclusive and diverse workforce where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ cultural identity is respected and everybody’s contribution is valued.
We will continue to build respectful and inclusive relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through our projects and activities across Australia.
We will continue to provide our workforce with the skills and knowledge to be culturally responsive to the communities where we live and work.
We will continue to provide equal training, sustainable employment and business opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and businesses.
We will lead by example in encouraging others to embrace the advantages and benefits that result from reconciliation.
To bring our RAPs to life and help tell the story of our reconciliation journey, we engaged Chern’ee Sutton a proud Kalkadoon woman and artist from Mount Isa, Queensland. Her style combines two worlds of traditional Aboriginal heritage with a modern contemporary twist.
