Connection is key to personal and professional fulfilment. We actively encourage our employees to contribute and participate to networks that resonate with their identities and interests.

EmpowHER is our women’s network which aims to create a supportive and inclusive environment for women across the organisation. This network provides a platform for Downer women to connect, voice their thoughts, share experiences and receive guidance, ultimately fostering their professional growth and career.

StandOut Global is a network that fosters a supportive and inclusive space for LGBTQIA+ employees. It’s a place to connect, share experiences, raise awareness, and build allyship across the business. Employees can join the network, take part in meaningful conversations, and self-nominate for the Governance Committee to help shape its direction.

Our commitment to inclusivity extends to our LGBTTQIA+ community through the Pride Pledge – a values-driven commitment to ensure safety, visibility, and inclusion. At Downer, we are dedicated to creating a supportive environment that respects and celebrates the diversity of all team members, both within and beyond our walls.
