Expression of Interest – First Nations Talent Pool

We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we live and work and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We honour their continuing connection to land, waters, and community.

At Wesley Mission Queensland (WMQ), we invite Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples to walk alongside us.

Whether you're just starting your career or bringing years of experience, your story, culture, and connection to community matter here. We value the knowledge, perspectives, and lived experience you bring, and the strength that comes from it.

This talent pool is part of our commitment to creating meaningful employment pathways, supporting self-determination, and increasing the representation of First Nations peoples across our workforce.

This is not an application for a specific role. Instead, it is an opportunity to connect with future career opportunities across WMQ that align with your interests, skills, and goals.

• A purpose-driven organisation making a real difference in communities
