At AKG our purpose is to empower the people and communities we work with every day, regardless of gender, sexuality, age, disability, neurodiversity or background. And for us to deliver services to these communities effectively, we must reflect their diversity in our own workforce.
Diversity and inclusion
Respecting the power of difference, ensuring equity and inclusion

Understanding Disability
We put our own advice into practice. With 7% of people living with a disability and many more with lived experience, our team understands what inclusion looks like in practice. We encourage people to bring their whole selves to work and constantly think about our workplace environments to ensure they are accessible to all.

Gender Equity
AKG is committed to gender equity and boosting women’s participation within the workforce. Over half the leaders in our business are women and we inspire others to do the same. Within our businesses we support women to train, access assistance, and get meaningful employment whatever their background and life experiences.
Reconciliation at AKG
AKG has a rich 30-year history of helping Indigenous people into fulfilling employment, building capability through our training business, and proactively partnering with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities in Australia to deliver employment and economic development outcomes across a range of major human services contracts.
We are no less committed to these outcomes in our own workplaces and business operations.
What reconciliation means to me is “all of us together” it’s going to take everyone to play a part in being successful.

Help us build solutions that work
Our team is always exploring new ideas and opportunities to build meaningful solutions with real impact. We work best co-designing with employers, local stakeholders and people with lived experience. Connect with us to explore how we can work together for change.
AKG is privileged to work in many countries across the globe. We acknowledge the traditional owners and First Nations people for all those places and recognise their connections to lands, water, sky, and community. We are dedicated to learning about local Indigenous People and culture, to sharing what we learn, and to listening and respecting Indigenous voices. We pay our respects to them, their elders and their cultures.
