Spotlight: First Nations Voices in Hiring
By

As we mark NAIDOC Week across Australia, BB Recruitment is proud to spotlight the role that First Nations voices play in shaping inclusive, equitable hiring practices across the childcare, healthcare, and ICT sectors.

True representation starts at the recruitment level — and for organisations committed to reconciliation, this means more than acknowledging Country. It means intentionally elevating Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander professionals into leadership, operational, and support roles, and fostering workplaces where culture is respected and celebrated.

At BB Recruitment, we work closely with clients who want to build culturally responsive teams. Whether it’s identifying community-connected educators, sourcing health workers who bring cultural sensitivity to aged care, or promoting Indigenous leaders in ICT strategy, we believe hiring should reflect the diverse talent of our state.

Tips for Culturally Conscious Hiring:

  • Include Indigenous voices in panel interviews and position planning

  • Ensure job descriptions avoid exclusionary language or barriers

  • Promote cultural safety in onboarding and ongoing professional development

  • Offer mentoring and support programs tailored to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander staff

Let NAIDOC Week be a starting point — not the end goal — in amplifying First Nations contributions across the workforce.
