Programs & Initiatives
Being an inclusive employer and being a great place to work doesn’t just happen because we want it to. We need to be organised and proactive. At Telstra, we have a range of targeted programs and initiatives to achieve our goals and to attract and retain talented women and men.
These programs and initiatives ensure that our people are well supported, have access to learning and development opportunities, are rewarded for what they do, and are well connected for the next stage of their career.
We know that great women become even greater when they are supported, nurtured and developed. At Telstra, our unique approaches to mentoring and sponsorship of women mean that we are enabling talented people to thrive and creating inclusive teams that maximise collective potential. We are giving space, light and volume to people with great potential to grow. Learn more
Telstra genuinely cares about our people’s wellbeing. In fact, we value their health and safety above anything else. We know that employees who are mentally and physically healthy are more likely to be engaged, committed and productive in all aspects of life. On a day-to-day basis, we do everything we can to avoid or minimise safety risks – and we promote good health at all levels of our business. Learn more

Telstra is committed to making sure that our people are fairly paid, depending on their skills, experience and performance. Gender pay equity is always in the headlines – but at Telstra we take a rigorous approach, which we review every year, to making sure that differences in pay are never based on gender. Learn more
Like in any large organisation, at Telstra, success is about being connected to the colleagues who can help you get things done, and also having a soft place to land when things are challenging. We have a range of employee networks where women can build their relationships and influence, learn and grow, and support each other. Learn more
