Our long-term success is dependent on the way we work with our stakeholders, and the value we create for them. We need talented teams who can understand and deliver value for our stakeholders from a broad range of perspectives.
Harnessing our unique combination of diverse perspectives, experience and backgrounds helps shape our competitive edge and fuels our ability to innovate and create sustainable solutions for our customers and communities.
And it’s how we live our values – Start with the customer; Show up with an open mind; Solve it together, and Set the standard.
Everyone belongs
We want everyone who works for and with us to feel they belong. As an equal opportunity employer, we strive to ensure everyone’s contribution and perspective is valued and respected, and everyone has equal access to opportunities to work and grow with us, without barriers or bias.
We treat our employees, contractors, suppliers and communities with fairness and respect, regardless of their gender, gender identity, cultural background, religious beliefs, sexuality, disability, personal circumstances or other lived experiences.
Respect, inclusion and wellbeing
We are committed to fostering a safe, respectful and inclusive work environment that enables everyone to contribute their best work and ideas, and to grow their careers.
To achieve this, we regularly review our policies and practices to remove barriers and bias, and ensure the wellbeing of our people.
For example, our workplaces are designed with consideration for our employees’ diverse needs and abilities, including via inclusive design processes and specialist partnerships, and we have clear processes in place to support those who may need workplace adjustments to deliver their best work.
We empower leaders, teams and individuals to value diversity and ensure their actions and behaviours respect and include all voices so that everyone can thrive. Team conversations about wellbeing, respect and inclusion are an integral part of our Health, Safety and Environment expectations for all employees.
Employees are also empowered to connect with others, whether through our Social Clubs, or through internal communities. For example, Transurban’s Pride employee network connects our LGBTQ+ employees and allies to support each other, celebrate diversity and enhance understanding.
Creating a gender equal future
As a leader in infrastructure, we need talented people who understand our key stakeholders and who bring fresh and creative thinking so that we continue to improve the value we create. Gender diversity is an important element of this, yet women have historically been under-represented in infrastructure fields such as engineering, construction, technology and finance.
We take a holistic approach to progress gender equality, working to:
- Encourage more women into our sector and organisation, including through STEM focused mentoring programs, educational partnerships and talent attraction strategies
- Foster an inclusive and respectful workplace supported by a strong Respect@Work program
- Ensure our core business practices and policies are free from bias and barriers so that merit can shine.
We monitor important gender equality indicators such as performance, recruitment and pay outcomes. We offer gender-neutral parental leave with no distinction between primary and secondary carer, paid super on unpaid leave, and have a long established flexible working framework including hybrid working options for many roles. Benefits and recognition at Transurban page.
Through these efforts, we strive to achieve and maintain gender balance across our Board, leadership and workforce; and continue to reduce our overall gender pay gap.
Our work has been recognised through the WGEA Employer of Choice citation, which we have held since 2015, and Equileap’s top-10 Australian and top-20 global companies for gender equality performance, where, in 2024 and 2025, we were recognised as the no.1 company both globally and in Australia.
Playing our part in reconciliation
We strive to create a culture of inclusion, respect and proud celebration of First Nations cultures with our customers, our people and business partners. We respect the land where we operate, and the voices of our community.
We look for, and create, opportunities to walk alongside First Nations Peoples on the path to reconciliation, including through:
- collaborating with partners to create job, training and employment opportunities
- celebrating First Nations’ culture and contributions in our asset design
- specifically supporting First Nations community organisations in our annual community grants program.
The perspectives of our First Nations’ employees, partners and community members all contribute to the ongoing delivery of our business strategy.
We also host a Reconciliation Employee Network that is open to all employees. The network provides opportunities for our whole workforce to join our efforts towards reconciliation, and to take individual action as well.
Examples of our partnerships – some new, and some established many years ago – include:
created with social enterprise Muru Mittigar and our NSW operations and maintenance supplier, Ventia
Creating inclusive partnerships
Our inclusive approach extends to the businesses we partner with. We have long-standing relationships with suppliers who create meaningful and rewarding employment opportunities for under-represented groups.
For example, we partner with Ability Works (Victoria) and MultiCap (Queensland) to create jobs for people with disability, and a range of organisations to support and enhance our efforts to foster a respectful, safe and inclusive workplace environment for everyone in our workforce, and those who work with us including:
- the Diversity Council of Australia, an independent body advocating for diversity and inclusion in the workplace
- Pride in Diversity (Australia), national non-profit LGBTQ+ employer support program
- Seramount (US) diversity, equity and inclusion consulting and research organisation
- Australian Network on Disability.
