Why work with us
We recognise the enormous benefits that a healthy environment, cutting-edge science and an innovative society can contribute to Queenslanders now and into the future. We value a truly diverse and inclusive workplace. For us, that starts with respecting the natural and cultural values of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples, whom we seek to partner with and learn from in all that we do.
Our team is as unique as the landscape of this state. Together, we bring a tapestry of life experiences that help us navigate the nuances of our responsibilities. For many of our employees, this means fascinating, fulfilling work and unforgettable experiences.
At our best, we take on unfamiliar projects, collaborate to bring a shared vision to life, and make the most of every single day—for ourselves, for each other and for Queensland.
We are committed to:
- building inclusive cultures in the Queensland public sector that respect and promote human rights and diversity
- strengthening our culture which values results, professional growth, workforce diversity, and a healthy work-life balance
- encouraging and supporting employees as individuals in an inclusive environment by embracing our differences and applying diverse and inclusive thinking to our business
- the values of the Queensland Public Sector: putting customers first, turning ideas into action, unleashing potential, being courageous and empowering people.
We’re proud to be an accredited White Ribbon Workplace. Domestic and family violence has no place in homes, communities or workplaces and we’re committed to preventing violence and supporting employees affected by domestic and family violence.
We recognise, respect and value First Nations people and cultures. We’re progressing self-determination by recognising the rights and interests of First Nations people. We’re investing in a culturally connected and agile organisation, with the skills and experience we need to support better outcomes for First Nations people.
We’re taking action in key areas like employment and procurement to build strong and sustainable partnerships with First Nations organisations and communities. We’re focused on working with First Nations people to improve service design and delivery, knowing that this will deliver better outcomes for all of Queensland.
Our work can be complex and challenging—important work usually is! But your contribution will count and so will you.
