Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islanders at Powerlink Queensland

A workplace where Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s cultures, beliefs and values are acknowledged and respected.

Powerlink is committed to creating a work environment in which Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people’s cultures, beliefs and values are acknowledged and respected, and in which the individual career goals and personal aims of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff are identified, promoted and achieved in an environment of cultural safety.

A key part of our reconciliation commitment is acknowledging the impacts of past acts and the continuing legacy of intergenerational trauma. Respecting the more than 60,000 years of history that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples share as the Traditional Custodians of this land and learn from their rich traditions and customs.

Powerlink actively and visibly support events aimed at raising the profile and opportunities of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples, including National Reconciliation Week, NAIDOC Week and through Communities of Practice, including our Reconciliation Action Plan Working Group.

"I am a proud Gooreng Gooreng Woman with connections to the South Sea Islander peoples.

I want to break down negative stereotypes and build up strong relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders”
