Our Diverse Community

At Blacktown City Council, we are proud to be home to a vibrant community of diverse birthplaces, languages, and cultures, including one of the largest urban Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander populations in Australia. This rich diversity is reflected in our commitment to creating an inclusive workplace.

We are dedicated to fostering an inclusive workplace where innovation thrives, and every employee feels a sense of belonging, value, and empowerment. Our goal is to create an environment where everyone can contribute meaningfully to the community. As part of this commitment, we are focused on delivering our Diverse and Inclusive Workplace Strategy 2024-2027, ensuring that our workplace continues to evolve and support the needs of all our employees.

We celebrate and acknowledge our staff’s diverse backgrounds and wellbeing by observing significant days throughout the year, such as Reconciliation Week, International Women’s Day, RU OK Day, and the International Day of Mourning

We are committed to equal employment opportunities and providing a safe working environment. Our Code of Conduct and ‘Prevention of Sexual Harassment in the Workplace’ policy, along with our respectful behaviours statement, procedure, and policy, underscores this commitment.
