Employment Diversity, Access and Inclusion

Equal opportunities for all

Every applicant is valued here. We celebrate diversity in every form – gender, age, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, education, skills, work experience, or socio-economic status.

Cultivating diversity and inclusion

The City of Cockburn is committed to promoting diversity, access, and inclusion. We empower our staff to be their whole selves and to flourish. Our approach is rooted in the principles of social justice, including access, equity, participation, and rights.
