Our difference is our strength

Diversity and difference in our workplaces foster innovation, and collaboration and create better places to work – for everyone. Our missions require us to reflect and draw upon the rich diversity of talent in Australia today and to provide a place where people can do their best work in service of the nation.
“We want a more sophisticated and diverse workforce. All the reasons why diversity matters, I don't need to repeat, it's fundamentally important. It's committed to by all of the agency heads within the NIC and across the community"

We empower our people to be adaptable to change, at the cutting edge of technology, able to work across disciplines and open to new ways of solving problems.
We are a community where people from all backgrounds can prosper and grow. The NIC is committed to creating an environment of respect, inclusiveness and empowerment for staff, to be themselves and bring their whole self to work and develop to their full potential in a unique community.
