We Change the Systems that Impact First Peoples

At Buneen Employment, we support employers who want to do more than tick a box — we work with those ready to create safe, successful, and culturally respectful workplaces for First Peoples.

Too often, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander jobseekers are placed into roles that aren’t built to support them. There’s no cultural safety. No mentorship. No plan for long-term success.

We’re here to change that.

What We Do

We help you attract, support, and retain First Peoples talent, particularly in entry-level roles, by focusing on the systems around the job, not just the recruitment itself.

Our support includes:

Culturally Safe Recruitment
We match you with the right person and prepare you to receive them in a way that’s grounded in respect and readiness.

Manager Coaching & Workplace Support
We work with your hiring managers and team leaders to help them build inclusive leadership practices and culturally safe environments.

Strength-Based Leadership Training
Our SAFE Leadership program challenges assumptions, shifts mindset, and helps leaders move from unconscious bias to conscious inclusion.

Onboarding & Retention Planning
We co-design onboarding and support plans tailored to the employee’s strengths, needs, and cultural context.

Ongoing Coaching & Cultural Mediation
When issues arise, we’re here to hold space, problem-solve, and rebuild trust.

Why Use Us

Because recruitment without cultural safety doesn't work.

At Buneen Employment, we’re not a mainstream agency doing Indigenous recruitment — we’re a First Peoples-led organisation built from lived experience.

We understand the real barriers our mob face in workplaces. And we work on both sides of the relationship to make sure success is possible — and sustainable.

Here’s what makes us different:

• We focus on entry-level roles — where the biggest gaps exist, and where impact matters most.

• We support both the employer and the employee — because retention isn’t just an individual responsibility.

• We use the SAFE Method — a proven framework for creating culturally safe environments that support growth.

• We prepare you, not just the person you’re hiring — because leadership plays a critical role in success.

• We challenge the deficit narrative — and replace it with strength, strategy, and respect.

We’re not just placing people. We’re reshaping the system around them — so they can thrive.

Let’s Work Together

Whether you're hiring your first First Nations employee or want to strengthen your existing practices, we can support you every step of the way.
