First Nations employment at Transurban
Our vision for reconciliation is one where we walk alongside First Nations peoples to improve access to social mobility, employment and business opportunities. Having a workforce that includes First Nations people and voices is a vital part of this vision. A truly representative workforce can forge stronger connections with communities, customers and businesses – generating meaningful and lasting benefits for all.
Transurban’s people policies are tailored to drive an inclusive and equitable environment for all our employees, including First Nations employees. We support our people in increasing their cultural understanding and provide opportunities for everyone to join us on the path we’re walking with all First Nations stakeholders.
Recognising that we cannot achieve our vision without a truly representative workforce that includes more First Nations peoples, we have created a First Nations Employment Strategy that focuses on increasing the representation of First Nations employees across our Australian workforce.

First Nations applicant support
Every candidate applying for a role at Transurban in Australia is asked to share if they identify as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander. All who identify will receive a phone call from our Talent Acquisition team to have a career discussion. This question also helps us to understand the diversity of our candidates and measure our success in attracting applications from people of all identities and backgrounds. Responding is optional and any demographic information shared is confidential.
If you need something specific to help you navigate the recruitment process – we're here for you. Tell us what you need when we call you or email careers@transurban.com and we’ll be in touch. And, whether your application is successful or not, you will hear from us. If you didn’t get the job, where possible, we’ll give you clear and specific feedback on your application.
We celebrate First Nations peoples and culture in the design of our roads and open spaces, and we engage with First Nations businesses in our operations. Examples of how we do this include:
- Through our major construction projects, more than $136 million has been spent with First Nations businesses – providing services, expertise and materials that are helping us build these new city-shaping roads.
- Reflecting and celebrating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture and heritage in the urban design and landscaping of our major projects, and partnering with First Nations artists to create public installations along our road corridors.
- Partnering with First Nations community organisations to create employment opportunities and support driver training programs.
