Help & support
We recognise the value in having a team that reflects the customers and communities we serve, and we want to create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected and included at work.
Our DEI strategy is centred on three key pillars:
Respect Lives Here is our key prevention initiative designed to help us build a shared understanding of respectful and disrespectful behaviours at work, the impacts they have, and the practical actions our people can take to be effective bystanders when they see or hear something that does not feel right.
Respect Lives Here is informed by our people’s lived experiences and draws on the evidence-based work of Our Watch, Griffith University and the University of New South Wales. Through education and leader-led discussions, Respect Lives Here addresses the attitudes, behaviours and standards that enable our people to foster a positive team culture and prevent harmful behaviours, such as sexual harassment or marginalisation at work.
