Closing the Gap

DHS is proudly committed to achieving the targets outlined in the National Agreement on Closing the Gap.

DHS welcomes and values the professional expertise, cultural knowledge, and life experience Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people bring to the workplace. We are committed to increasing their participation across all classifications and divisions in the department, with a focus on retention and development in an inclusive workplace respectful of cultural needs as outlined in our Aboriginal Workforce Strategy.

In addition to our vacancies, the South Australian Government offers a further avenue for Aboriginal and Torres Strait people to gain employment with the South Australian public sector through their Aboriginal Employment Register.
