On Harmony Day today and every other day, we celebrate our people and the cultural diversity in our organisation. 🧡 The extent of our cultural diversity and capability was reflected in the WA Public Sector Commission 2023 Census, with more than 50% of respondents identifying as culturally and linguistically diverse, fluent in a language other than English, or born outside of Australia! 🌏 This is well above the sector wide average of 39%. #ThisIsDoT We strive to create a sense of belonging in the workforce and we're not done yet!
