Inclusion in Australia | BAE Systems Careers

Welcome to a place you belong.

BAE Systems Australia is an inclusive organisation, where we bring together people with diverse skills, ways of thinking and backgrounds - who feel safe to be themselves, contribute to our success and thrive in fulfilling careers.

Our strategic priorities focus on creating an even more inclusive workplace. Through our organisational values, developing an inclusive work environment helps us enhance employee engagement and accelerate our performance, whilst also pushing boundaries to develop new, innovative ways to support the various needs of our customers and the communities in which we serve.

Our priorities

All of our people have an active role to play in helping to create and maintain an inclusive work environment.

We have dedicated teams who focus on embedding inclusion into our cultural DNA and business as usual practice. As part of this, we have identified several key areas of focus that underpin our strategy.

We have several employee connection groups which are voluntary and employee-led. Each has a specific focus but a common aim to connect and share the voices, perspectives and experiences of our people.

First Nations peoples

We aim to maintain respectful and sustainable relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

We develop meaningful reconciliation outcomes through employment, procurement, and community consultation opportunities.

Our current reconciliation action plan details our aspirations to support First Nations peoples, businesses, and communities.

Gender

Our aim is to create better gender balance across our organisation. We currently employ about 18,000 women globally — equivalent to 22% of our total workforce — but our goal is to attract many more women to join us at all levels of our organisation, and across all parts of our business.

Veterans

We are proud of those who have served our country and are grateful for their sacrifice. We are committed to supporting the health, employment and rehabilitation of Australia’s veterans, service personnel and their families.

We actively hire veterans for the wealth of knowledge, experience and skills they bring to all areas of our business. They are uniquely placed to help us better understand the needs of our customers.

Supporting those who have served

Sexual and Gender Diversity

It’s important our workplace is inclusive; enabling our people to bring their whole selves to work.

We value our LGBTQIA+ employees and strive to create a safe work environment. Our people have created a number of employee connection groups – including Outlink.

Outlink plays a crucial role in raising awareness of and advocating for issues specifically facing LGBTQIA+ people.
