Defence Indigenous Employment Strategy
The Defence Indigenous Employment Strategy (IES) was recently updated to reflect the changing priorities and focus of Indigenous Affairs across Defence. The Defence IES is our roadmap until 2017 to increasing the recruitment and retention of more Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ADF (military) and APS (public servant) members. The IES is guided by the Defence Reconciliation Action Plan, which provides the directive to develop practical employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and identifies the mechanisms to do so.
The IES plan has 6 strategic imperatives for increasing Indigenous representation in the Defence workforce:
-
Improving the understanding in Defence, at all levels, of why Indigenous employment is important to Defence.
-
Establishing specific targets for Indigenous employment in Defence.
-
Increasing annually the number of Indigenous Australians who are attracted to, and apply for, a Defence career.
-
Implementing specific recruitment activities to maximise Indigenous employment opportunities.
-
Enhanced retention of Indigenous personnel through the application of specifically designed initiatives.
-
Improved Indigenous workforce research to inform future strategies that will inform ongoing development of the Defence IES and measure success.
The IES implementation plan includes new activities, but also reflects existing programmes such as the Defence Indigenous Development Programme, and increases in the number of Indigenous Pre-Recruitment Courses being conducted. The new activities range from improved workforce reporting including increased self-identification of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, through to a 'Recruit to Area' model.
The Army Aboriginal Community Assistance Programme (AACAP) is a cooperative initiative between Army and the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet to improve environmental health conditions within remote Aboriginal communities. The programme seeks to maximise the benefits to Indigenous communities by focusing on projects that allow the Army to make best use of its construction expertise and capability, by capitalising on the Army’s ability to holistically deliver a range of services to remote Indigenous communities that would not normally be available in a single project. The 2014 project is within the Wutunugurra and Canteen Creek Communities in the Northern Territory. Planning for the 2015 AACAP works is underway with the Titjikala community, also in the Northern Territory.
