We are proud to have received a WGEA Employer of Choice for Gender Equality citation in 2021 for a third consecutive year.

The Employer of Choice for Gender Equality (EOCGE) citation is a voluntary leading-practice recognition program designed to encourage, recognize and promote organizations’ active commitment to achieving gender equality in Australian workplaces.

We are passionate about working towards creating real change in our teams and the industry by proactively attracting and recruiting Journey Makers from all walks of life.

A gender equal organization is one that creates opportunities for all employees. We want our workforce to reflect the diversity of our communities. The transport industry is dynamic and changing and from a recruitment perspective we are focused on removing barriers to attract more women to consider a career in public transport. We truly value innovation and in a rapidly changing transport industry we know that diversity of thought is the way we can remain on the front foot.
