On Friday 2nd May, 2008, UnitingCare NSW.ACT launched its Indigenous Employment Strategy.   As part of this Strategy, UnitingCare Children, Young People and Families Services have committed to implement their action plan over the next 12 months. 

The plan’s focus is to strengthen recruitment and retention for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff, including cultural awareness training for all our staff.

Through the strategy we are recruiting our own Indigenous Employment Officer who will be responsible for implementing the action plan across the Service Group. This is a full-time 12 month position, fully funded by the Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations. Our target is to have an additional 45 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff by the end of the 12 months.
