People are at the heart of everything we do – the people we work with and the people we design for – and we love our differences. We want everyone to know that Aurecon is a place where they belong, where they feel connected, where they can develop and have equal and equitable access to opportunities.
Where each person can celebrate what makes them unique and celebrate the communities to which they belong. Where the stories of our colleagues enrich us, and we can actively encourage and support one another.
We will lead in creating a new experience of work, which honours our people, their uniqueness, and their personal circumstances. Whether that means working part time, taking leave to return to Country (as an Indigenous Australian), swapping public holidays to celebrate culturally-significant events and holidays, feeling comfortable disclosing a disability, working flexibly, or easily using the name or pronoun of your same-sex partner.
We are committed to building an inclusive culture for the wellbeing of our people and to deliver better outcomes for our clients and communities. A workplace where our people feel valued, have a sense of belonging, can contribute without fear of discrimination or retaliation, and have equal and equitable access to opportunities.
We have prioritised diversity, equity, and inclusion in our organisational strategy. Having leaders who believe diversity, equity, and inclusion is an important human rights and business issue, is driving change in our culture.
Aurecon continues to be recognised as an Inclusive Employer by Diversity Council Australia in 2025–26, which reinforces our strong commitment to inclusion. We have participated in the Inclusive Employer Index since 2019, measuring employee diversity and inclusion experiences in our workplace. The recognition is awarded to organisations who exceed key benchmarks in the Index in at least five of the following six areas: awareness, engagement, inclusive organisational climate, inclusive leadership, inclusive team, and exclusion.
Through inclusive language and behaviours, we are creating a culture that:
Makes everyone feel they can bring their best self to work and reach their full potential inclusive of all cultures, abilities, ages, ethnicities, religious beliefs, sex, genders, gender identities and sexual orientations.
Rejects harassment, bullying, discrimination, and stereotypes and actively supports difference, builds connections, and provides psychological and cultural safety, where people can be themselves and express contrary opinions without negative consequences
Better reflects the diverse communities Aurecon serves
That is how we reach our diversity, equity and inclusion commitments. Through collaborative ways of working, and the actions and words of our leaders and our people we bring our policies – which are explicitly inclusive – to life.
Explore our commitmentsWe build diverse teams, so we can explore and solve our clients' and society's most complex problems in unconventional and distinctive ways.
Diversity comes in all shapes and forms. We welcome all dimensions of diversity. Everyone is unique, and at Aurecon, we respect that difference and value each person for their uniqueness. Our differences are our strength.
We believe innovation is essential to building an organisation ready to capture the future; and to thrive, a culture of innovation needs both demographic diversity, and diversity of thought.
When our people feel the impact of our diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, that’s when they start to feel valued. It is this sense of connectedness that leads our people to bring their best ideas to support innovation.
We have built our diversity, equity and inclusion commitments on a foundation of integrity, equality, and respect for people. Without our people, our Blueprint strategy is simply words on a page.
By living and applying the Aurecon Attributes and Aurecon Principles in the way we work, we create an environment where our people are as diverse as the clients and communities we serve and where they can do their best work and flourish.
We recognise and look to remove historical and systemic barriers and privileges to create equitable access to opportunities to ensure equality of outcomes for everyone. Our initiatives and policies support our culture through:
The principles of equal opportunity employment
Fair and equal treatment for all employees
Providing a fair and safe workspace
While we actively pursue and consider the widest possible definition of diversity to complement our teams, we currently focus our commitment to building a diverse and inclusive workplace culture across the following considerations: gender equity and equality, LGBTQIA+ inclusion and Indigenous Australians and Māori people inclusion.
