  • Support individual development and advancement plans through the facilitation of targeted initiatives and programs.
Indigenous Employment

At New Wave, our commitment to our local community is what sets us apart!

We believe cultural identities are important and that the diversity of such identities is what makes Australia unique. We also trust that working with people from a range of backgrounds promotes cross-cultural interaction and respect.

Closing the Gap on in Equality

New Wave recognises that there can often be inequalities between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and fellow Australians in life experiences and in securing employment and advancing their career. We encourage Indigenous Australians to apply for positions in our organisation and we support workforce development actions throughout our core business activities.

Good People Management

We practice good people management, and our line managers take steps towards reconciliation by ensuring our Indigenous employees feel welcome throughout their induction process and beyond. Our mentoring, coaching and training pathways also focus on helping staff to achieve long term social and economic outcomes.

At New Wave, we celebrate the rich cultural heritage of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples! Their language, histories, lore and spiritualities have thrived for more than 65,000 years and we are proud to work alongside our fellow Indigenous Australians.

Inclusive Employment Approach

Through our Indigenous Employment Strategy, we are committed to the representation of Indigenous Australians in the workforce and are actively working towards an inclusive and culturally appropriate workplace environment. We want to make a difference and aim to strengthen relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and communities through respect and consideration of their cultural, social, and religious systems.

We also understand however that past social injustices, exploitation, and employment inequities can affect the aspirations of our Nations’ First Peoples.
