Diversity and inclusion highlights
WGEA Employer of Choice accreditation
Perpetual has been recognised by The Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) for being an employer who is committed to promoting gender equality in Australian workplaces. Perpetual is proud to be a Employer of Choice for Gender Equality since 2018
WiBF partnership
“The WiBF Mentoring for Success program was a little bit like match making in that you are paired with a mentor from another organisation based on your career goals, strengths and development areas. The ability to get an outsider perspective was invaluable in enabling me to see the forest for the trees. I am still in contact with my mentor today and anticipate that I will continue to be for years to come.”
Jawun Secondment Program
"I touched down on the Mparntwe land (known as Alice Springs) to commence the Jawun Secondment Program. Jawun works towards improving the lives of Indigenous people around the country by supporting communities on the ground through their partnerships with corporations, government and Indigenous people.
Over the next six weeks I will be working with Purple House on a recruitment drive initiative. Purple House is an Indigenous owned and run non profit health service helping patients stay on country while getting the dialysis treatment they need in remote communities.
I am so grateful to be part of this program and it is thanks to Perpetual Limited’s long-term partnership with Jawun that I am here."
