The talent team has made a great effort to encourage all sorts of candidates to apply to the graduate program, and it shows based on the people in this year's graduate cohort. The work-life flexibility is great for people to take time off work for personal matters, plus there are various sessions and people to consult for any other assistance or advice so no need to worry about any of that.

There are not a lot of women in the engineering and IT sectors, however, there are initiatives to address the gender imbalance. There are also initiatives looking at increasing indigenous participation, and GEN44 internship programs. There are also groups such as Bent Rail for LGBT staff.

There is active training against discrimination for all employees. The company plays a strong role in supporting an open and fair workplace.

Incredible perks for maternity leave, transitioning leave, etc. as an outsider. It seems like there are systems in place but I don't have any experiences with them.
Graduate, Melbourne
Most grads in my intake were male (however the large number of male engineering applicants may have affected this result). Other minority groups seem well represented.

As most workplaces, the demographic of employees is probably majority of white Caucasians. Having said that, the project places a strong emphasis on Diversity and there are many support programs in place for employees. The project are also very accepting of personal views on religion, sexuality etc. It is highly unlikely that you would experience bullying or harassment in this workplace.

What does your company do to attract applicants from less privileged backgrounds?
Employment programs which target applicants from less privileged backgrounds.
Graduate, Melbourne
Different employment programs are now starting to be offered for disadvantaged background candidates

The graduate program gives all graduates a manager and a supervisor. Both can assist those from less privileged background in many ways and the business offers many programs (and contacts) to reach out for any help necessary.

There are internship programs for those from migrant backgrounds.

One example coming to mind is, for people who may have missed learning opportunities, there are pathways via a training academy run by the company (in fact this academy is open to the entire rail industry).
