Aboriginal Employee Network Gathering

Page Last Updated: 12/01/2023 LA


The Tasmanian State Service Aboriginal Employee Network (AEN) Gathering is an annual event hosted by the State Service Management Office.

About the Gathering

The Gathering supports actions identified by the Aboriginal Employment Strategy to 2022 by creating a supportive environment for Aboriginal employees to:

  • share and celebrate their work;
  • engage in shared cultural experiences with others; and
  • build relationships and networks across the TSS.

The Gathering is also an opportunity for participants to demonstrate their commitment to valuing Aboriginal employees, and ensuring Aboriginal employees have a voice that is heard, respected and included in the work we do.

Supporting Aboriginal employees to participate in the Gathering is one way agencies demonstrate a commitment to valuing Aboriginal employees. Supporting participation recognises the unique knowledge, skills and experiences Aboriginal employees bring to the workplace and contribute to building a workplace that is culturally respectful and inclusive.

Aboriginal employees are also encouraged to invite a non-Aboriginal colleague to join them at the Gathering and these guests support their Aboriginal colleagues by attending and helping to make each Gathering a success.
