Australian-first National Indigenous Employment Index

Client: Minderoo Foundation Generation One

Service: Research & Evaluation

Employers need to do more to attract, train, retain and promote Indigenous employees, according to ground-breaking research that is outlined in the new report which lifts the lid on Indigenous employment practices at some of Australia’s biggest organisations.

The Indigenous Employment Index (IEI) was commissioned and led by Minderoo Foundation’s Generation One initiative, which aims to end Indigenous employment disparity in one generation. The research was jointly conducted by Murawin and Bankwest Curtin Economics Centre (BCEC), who also co-authored the Index. Murawin undertook the qualitative research and heard many stories from Indigenous and non-Indigenous employees of what they believe is critical to creating safe workplaces that will see Indigenous Australians thriving and achieving successful employment outcomes.
