Home Why Telstra Diversity and inclusion


Diversity and inclusion

We’re passionate about creating an environment that’s inclusive and supportive; a place where everyone can truly be themselves.  We know that diversity fosters greater innovation and better customer connection, and helps our people to thrive.
 
We welcome people of all genders, ages and ethnicities and focus on fairness and opportunity for under-represented groups like the LGBTI+ and Indigenous communities, and people who identify as living with disability.
 
Our Diversity and Inclusion strategy is built around three foundational streams:
 
  1. Diverse perspectives – Ensuring under-represented people are included in our workforce and their diverse thinking is valued.
  2. Inclusive teams – Creating an inclusive culture where everyone can thrive.
  3. Flexibility and fairness – Flexibility enabled by technology, fair policies and processes.

This means a career with us will see you work with a diverse and talented group of colleagues, who’ll support your development and with whom you’ll achieve great things.
