Aboriginal Engagement

We’re proud of the fact that more than 20% of the Centrals workforce is Aboriginal.

Each year, we are committed to increasing Aboriginal participation and delivering new programs to not only get improved

employment outcomes, but to foster cultural awareness among our team, building an inclusive workforce by nurturing relationships with our Aboriginal staff, their families and the broader Aboriginal community.

Centrals ongoing commitment to providing training, employment and commercial opportunities for Aboriginal people, has meant we have become a trusted partner.

This commitment has given us the ability to assist Aboriginal businesses to set up and grow and provide additional opportunities through the creation of joint venture partnerships and in delivering real jobs and commercial opportunities.

6 | Capability Statement

Centrals is most proud of the growth and development of the Yagahong Alliance, which is the joint venture that Centrals are in with the Yugunga Nya people who are the traditional owners of the land north east of Meekatharra. During this period we have been able to increase the percentage of Aboriginal people working for the Yagahong Alliance at the Degrussa Mine Site from 15% to 82%.

The 3 year contract with Sandfire Resources has also enabled the Yugunga - Nya Trust to be able to purchase $1.5 million worth of equipment. As a result the Yugunga Nya people were able to increase their share in the joint venture by a further 10% during this period.

Sandfire Resources have consistently complimented the Yagahong Alliance on the safety, quality, responsiveness and reliability of the service that the onsite team provides. The onsite team are strong and are prepared to speak up if any member of the team who are not upholding their standards.

To date they have also successfully completed 2.5 years onsite with no recordable or lost time injuries being incurred.
