How to build an inclusive workplace for
First Nations employees
Inclusive workplaces don’t happen by accident — they’re
built with intention. Here’s how your organisation can help:
Acknowledge Traditional Owners at meetings,
events and in communications by conducting an
Acknowledgement of Country
Actively participate in First Nations events (NAIDOC
Week, Reconciliation Week, Mabo Day, etc.)
·Provide meaningful career opportunities,
mentoring and cultural leave
Promote Indigenous languages and stories in
internal comms and initiatives
Train staff on cultural safety, unconscious bias and
anti-racism
Support Indigenous-led initiatives and ensure
Indigenous perspectives inform Indigenous-focused
work
Create feedback loops to listen to and act on the
experiences of Indigenous employees
·Reduce identity strain by fostering belonging, not
assimilation

space to discuss challenges, seek guidance and access
support from people who understand the cultural context of
your experience.
Whether you're navigating workplace dynamics or personal
wellbeing, you don’t have to do it alone. We’re here to walk
beside you.
