Workplace Diversity

The Mint respects and appreciates the cultural diversity of its workforce, 42 per cent of which comprises employees from countries where English is not the spoken language; an additional 10 per cent were born overseas in countries where English is the first language.

The Workplace Diversity Programme continues to formalise the Mint's commitment to ensuring employees in identified groups have fair access to recruitment, training and promotion opportunities. The Mint values its employees who are of a mature age and choose to continue to work past the age of 65. It is currently working on an Mature Age Workforce Policy to provide measures that continue to support our staff who wish to remain in the workforce.

To assist employees in balancing work, family and other caring responsibilities, the Agency Agreement leave conditions allow employees to use their personal leave entitlements to care for an immediate family member who is sick. Applications for part-time work are considered favourably. Flexible working hours are available to fit in with family commitments.

There is also an additional entitlement of two weeks paid maternity leave. The maternity leave and the additional leave may be taken at half pay. Executive level employees are able to make use of flexible working hours in the same way as all other Mint employees.
