Culture, Inclusion and Diversity

At Rise, we support people from all walks of life and are committed to having a workforce that reflects the communities we serve. We know that our differences are a strength—people from diverse backgrounds bring unique perspectives, knowledge, and skills that make our services stronger and more meaningful.

We nurture a workplace where everyone feels connected, valued, heard, and safe to be their authentic selves. We celebrate diversity in all its forms, including—but not limited to—ethnicity, culture, disability, gender, sexuality, identity, appearance, and beliefs.

We also acknowledge the shared history of Australia and its impact on generations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, particularly in relation to health, wellbeing, and independence. Rise is committed to building respectful relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians, through sharing culture, stories, and experiences, as well as creating opportunities for employment and collaboration.

“Go to Rise, apply for their jobs and trust them. Just be open with them. Explain to them what you need and how they can help you because they’ll do what they can to help you.”

“I love what I’m doing. I’m a bubbly person, I always have been. I think the centre is a happy go lucky place. Laughing is the best therapy in the world. You’re not meant to be sitting there in silence so, I make all the jokes in the world and make everyone happy."

“It’s great for the people we support to see and hear things that prompt them to know they are supported and welcomed at Rise and that’s the same for volunteers and staff. If they’re able to be their authentic self at work and feel supported, they are far more productive and far more likely to stay with an organisation.”

“You get to meet different kinds of people. You get to hear different stories you wouldn’t get to hear in a normal job. You get to talk to them. You become their friends. I’ve learnt a lot from them. They’ve helped me.”
