Tourism Australia Indigenous Student Open Day 2025

At Tourism Australia, we know & love this land. We also know our people are our strength, their different experiences and backgrounds are the key to Tourism Australia’s success.   Every day we share our passion with the world, sharing the story of Australia and our 65,000 years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. We are just as passionate about creating an incredible culture at Tourism Australia, recognising and supporting the individuality of our people, in an environment where we learn and grow together.

We are also dedicated to providing an inclusive workplace where everyone feels a sense of belonging and connection including those with disabilities and encourage you to confidentially share any accommodations that may be required for you to event this event.
