2017 Indigenous Education Statement

5. Indigenous Workforce Strategy accessible by public

Your response to this area needs to address the following points:

• Explain how the university has met its requirements under section 12 of the ISSP Guidelines;
• Include current link to the university’s website outlining the strategies to increase the number of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people working at the university and to support the development of current Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees. This can be a special Indigenous Workforce Strategy document or a section targeting development for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in a broader university workforce strategy;
• Discuss the practical implementation and evaluation of your Indigenous Workforce Strategy;
• Report progress against targets and milestones outlined in the strategy; and
• Note that in 2017, the Department will work with institutions to establish an Indigenous workforce target of 3% where such a target does not already exist.

UNE’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Employment Strategy 2013-2018 expires this year. A new strategy will be drafted in the near future. The current strategy can be found at:
