Diversity and inclusion

The diversity of Queensland makes us stronger

We want to create a single transport system that everyone can access. To achieve this, we need to be connected to and representative of the communities we serve. We want to build an inclusive workplace and transport network through partnerships with communities and people with disabilities.

We're looking for employees who have a connection to the community and the environment and who are committed to protecting our lifestyle sustainably. We're seeking applications from students who can listen, learn, and incorporate their experience into local projects. We're also working to create a more gender diverse and inclusive workforce by offering career development opportunities, flexible and supportive workplaces, reducing our gender pay gap, and increasing the representation of women in leadership roles.

At Transport and Main Roads, we believe that having a diverse workforce is one of our strengths. Everyone is welcome to bring their whole selves to work and feel safe and supported. Our roles have First Nations priority consideration, which means that it's an equal opportunity measure for an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person to be selected for the position. If you identify as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person and meet the minimum requirements for this role, you'll be invited to participate in the next selection activity.

An Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person is one who identifies as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person and either is:

  • of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander descent; or
  • accepted as an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander by the Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander community in which they live.

Our role opportunities gives priority consideration to people with diverse abilities. According to section 105 of the Anti-Discrimination Act 1991 (QLD), it is a fair way to make sure people with disabilities have an equal opportunity to be hired. If you meet the minimum requirements for the job, you will be invited to participate in the next step of the selection process.
