We work with NSW public sector agencies to develop sector-wide policies and programs to support our Aboriginal employees and the citizens of NSW.
Our aims are to:
- improve employment outcomes by attracting more Aboriginal people to work in our sector
- empower our current Aboriginal employees to develop their capabilities and careers
- support all employees across our sector to build Aboriginal cultural capabilities and work in a trauma-informed way
- support sector agencies to understand and use data to inform planning and decision making
- connect employees through networking, forums and programs.
