If you're an Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander person, it's important to know the difference between applying for an identified role or targeted recruitment.

Mallary: Sometimes you'll see that our roles are targeted or identified specifically to Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander peoples, so what does this really mean? An identified role is where having a particular race, gender, or age is a genuine requirement to occupy that role. In an Aboriginal identified position, you must be Aboriginal because you work directly with our mob. The requirements for targeted recruitment are different to identified roles. In a targeted Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander role, you don't have to be Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander for this position. However, it is desired. Whether it is a targeted or identified role, your Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultural knowledge and experience is really valued here. As Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, we understand each other like no one else can.

Please note that at DCJ we commonly use the word "Aboriginal", recognising that Aboriginal people are the original inhabitants of NSW, the part of Australia we are responsible for. We acknowledge and respect that Torres Strait Islander people are among the First Nations of Australia and that both Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people are an important part of our staff and the communities we work with.
