Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway
The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway provides culturally appropriate guidance and support to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants through the recruitment and selection process.

The Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander pathway is part of the Victorian public sector's 5-year Aboriginal employment strategy, Barring Djinang.

The Disability pathway provides graduates with disability access to safe and inclusive support and adjustments from a dedicated professional.
