Indigenous Employment

Complete Personnel has a specialised division that is able to assist organisations to recruit, develop and retain Indigenous employees. 

There are many good reasons for employing Indigenous Australians, including:

  • Developing a reputation as a preferred employer of Indigenous people will give your organisation access to people with great potential for your workforce.
  • Employing Indigenous Australians may open up a growing market for your organisation’s products or services.
  • By demonstrating strong corporate citizenship your organisation will achieve a market edge with key clients, and enhance the public perception of your organisation.
  • Generous government incentives may be available to assist you to reduce your employment costs (conditions apply).

How can we help?

We are able to assist companies by tailoring a strategy to their individual circumstances. Our service can be as simple as recruiting an Indigenous person for a single position, through to assisting with the creation of an Indigenous Employment Strategy. 

Key services available include:

Community Engagement

Engaging with local Indigenous Communities may appear daunting.  Complete Personnel has established relationships that have been developed over the past twenty years.  We are able to assist in setting up a system of communication between you and the local Indigenous Community and to engage with local Indigenous leaders.

Pre-employment Training

We are able to develop pre-employment training programmes to prepare Indigenous job seekers to gain and retain employment specific to your organisation’s needs.  The training can cover issues such as personal development, time management, Occupation Health and Safety and skills development.  We are also experienced in sourcing government funds to assist with the delivery of training programmes.   Recent examples of training initiatives that we have developed include a Mining Industry Pre-employment programme.

Recruitment and Induction

We are able to assist with the development of recruitment and induction strategies to increase the success of finding the right Indigenous people for your company.  We can review your induction process with respect to ensuring the ease of transition into your workplace.

Retention and Mentoring

We are able to design and implement effective support and retention mechanisms to maximise the number of Indigenous people who stay employed with your organisation. 

We provide pro-active follow-up through the provision of structured mentoring support by our experienced Indigenous consultants.  Our aim is to respond quickly to any issues or problems and to proactively manage and support your supervisors and your new Indigenous employee(s).
