We acknowledge the traditional owners of the lands on which we live and work. We acknowledge their continued connection to culture, country and community and pay our respects to their elders - past, present and emerging. We recognise and celebrate the intersectionality and diversity in us all.

At EnergyAustralia, diversity and inclusion is core to our culture, our values and the way we work. It powers greater connection, creativity and innovation, enabling teams to achieve great results and perform at their best.
By creating an environment where all people feel psychologically and culturally safe, included, valued and supported, it means you can be your authentic self at work, thrive and be your best.
Diversity & Inclusion at EnergyAustralia
We’re committed to providing an inclusive culture so all our people can bring their whole selves to work and have a sense of belonging. From our PRISM network that creates a positive culture for our LGBTQI+ community to our Reconciliation Action Plan that has commitments to strengthen relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, communities and organisations. It’s a workplace where everyone’s welcome.
