Indigenous Employment

The University of Sydney is committed to creating a work environment in which the unique, rich, and diverse cultural backgrounds of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are acknowledged and valued, and in which the individual career goals and personal aims of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employees are identified, promoted, achieved and celebrated.

Introducing and implementing an Indigenous Employment Strategy at the University of Sydney will assist in achieving these goals.

The University's new Indigenous Employment Strategy will encompass a host of initiatives and culturally friendly practices that demonstrate our commitment to Indigenous employment.

The logo for the Indigenous Australians Employment Strategy symbolises the University of Sydney and it's several campuses, education, employment and the community.

The innermost circle is the main campus at Camperdown, and the tangents represent the University's several other campuses. The three main feature characters represent education, employment and the community.

The logo shows how the University is committed to the education and employment of Indigenous Australians, by developing and maintaining successful relationships between the University and the community.

Kristy 'Wgarlingah' Kennedy, the artist who created the logo for the Indigenous Australians Employment Strategy, is currently a student at the University of Sydney. She is enrolled in a combined Arts/Law degree and is majoring in Aboriginal studies.

Kristy is a salt-water woman from the Ngarrindjeri nation (coast of South Australia) and is also a member of the Barkinji nation (North West New South Wales).
