BY Group Diversity and Inclusion Performance

Our vision at the very beginning was to create economic independence and to help Indigenous people secure sustainable employment in the building and construction industry, so it stands to reason that Indigenous employment is a priority for BY Group.

Take our Indigenous Cultural Online Course

Australia has one of the richest and oldest continuing cultures in the world. The First Peoples of our country came here at least 60,000 years ago. They established a sustainable system of land and societal management that was thriving at the time of European settlement in 1788.

Today, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are represented in all walks of life. To learn more about Indigenous culture, please feel free to take this online cultural awareness course which was kindly gifted to us by ANZ Bank.
