Diversity & inclusion


Water Corporation

To harness the full potential of our employees we are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where all our people feel that they belong, are valued, respected and have access to opportunities and resources.

We want our employees to bring their ‘true self’ to work and feel they are valued, respected and given equal access to opportunities and resources.

Our priorities are to:

Disability inclusion

Employing people with disability strengthens our already diverse workforce. We are committed to enabling people with disability to participate fully in all aspects of employment wherever possible.

Our Disability Access and Inclusion Plan was developed based on research and consultation with employees, customers, stakeholders and disability service providers. It provides the framework to identify access and inclusion barriers and to implement strategies to overcome these barriers.
