Diversity & inclusion at Transurban
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 our customer
- show up with an open mind
- solve it together
- and set the standard.
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.
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.
Our offices are designed with our peoples’ diverse needs in mind, and we have clear processes to support workplace adjustments so everyone can do 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.
We also encourage connection—whether through Social Clubs or employee networks like Pride, which brings together LGBTQ+ employees and allies to support each other and build understanding.
As a leader in infrastructure, women have historically been under-represented in fields in our industry, 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 at Work program
- Ensure our core business practices and policies are free from bias and barriers so that everyone has equal opportunity to succeed.
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.
We strive to achieve and maintain gender balance across our Board, leadership and workforce; and continue to reduce our overall gender pay gap. We’ve been recognised as a leader in gender equality - ranking as the #1 company globally and in Australia by Equileap in both 2024 and 2025.
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
- Seramount (US) diversity, equity and inclusion consulting and research organisation
- Australian Network on Disability.
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.
