Diversity & Inclusion Impact Award
This award honors an employer that demonstrates impact in recruiting and retaining a diverse workforce.

The award is for employer partners who are committed and dedicated to achieving reconciliation between First Nations people and the broader Australian population through employment and retention initiatives.

Innovative Recruitment Solution Award
