Our commitment to diversity and inclusion

The City of Melbourne is an equal opportunity employer committed to providing a safe working environment and embracing diversity.

We recognise the value and strength of Aboriginal culture to our heritage. We are proud to take an active role in reconciliation, being the first local government to have a Reconciliation Action Plan endorsed by Reconciliation Australia.

We are proud to lead a multicultural community and recognise that our different cultures and views make for more meaningful collaboration.

We are proud to be a child safe organisation and foster a work culture where everyone feels confident, empowered and supported to disclose child safety concerns.

We strive for gender equality. We condemn men’s violence against women in all forms and support a work culture that ensures women enjoy respect, equal opportunity and full participation.

We have an active LGBTQI network led by employees who identify and allies which is strongly supported by our leadership team. We are a proud member of Pride in Diversity and work to improve our policies and entitlements so that they are fair.

We seek an ‘access for all’ working environment to promote a culture in which people of all abilities can thrive. The City of Melbourne is an inclusive organisation that welcomes all people to apply.
