Be part of something REAL

We envisage an organisation embedded in an understanding of its community, where every employee brings their best self to work and leaves having been seen, heard and able to contribute meaningfully to the outcomes of the business.

We have a roadmap for workforce inclusion and diversity which we commit to achieving by 2026, with actions designed to:

• Increase employee diversity at all levels across the Department of Transport
• Create a sense of inclusion and belonging for all our people

By offering our people access to peer support programs, inclusion, equity and diversity initiatives as well as a range of leave benefits we allow our people to feel secure and supported.

Read more about how we create an environment of belonging for our people on our Diversity, access and inclusion page.

Through our modernised work environment, we allow our people to feel empowered and take accountability for their professional and personal development.

We have a culture that enables all of us to continuously learn, allowing us to courageously evolve, grow, feel supported and feel valued. This helps us make a bigger difference in helping Western Australia grow.
