Connect with Community

We're giving back to our community and managing our environmental responsibilities sustainably.

We care about the community we live and work in.

Through financial donations and the commitment of our time, we’re proud to support organisations who are making a difference.

As a team we regularly support Dementia Australia’s Memory Walk and Jog and The Cancer Council’s Biggest Morning Tea to raise awareness and funds for causes close to our hearts.  Providing pro-bono recruitment services for not-for-profit organisations or charities is another way we give back.

To ensure our team can engage on things most important to them, every HorizonOne team member also has access to two volunteer days a year to use at their discretion.

And we’re committed to evolving our business practices to lessen our environmental impact.  As an ACTSmart Accredited organisation, we've implemented a range of policies to ensure our recruitment practices and offices are sustainable.

Connection to Country

Indigenous inclusion commitment

HorizonOne is committed to an inclusive, equitable, and culturally respectful approach to our work. This includes guaranteeing Indigenous voices are central to decision-making processes and that the unique perspectives and contributions of Indigenous peoples are valued and acknowledged.
 
We understand Indigenous organisations are the rightful representatives of their communities and have a deep understanding of their needs, aspirations, and challenges.

As such, HorizonOne collaborates closely with the national Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander organisation, the Healing Foundation to gain insight and guidance, addressing the challenges faced by First Nations people and exploring avenues for social, emotional, cultural, spiritual, psychological, and physical wellbeing through employment.
 
This knowledge is powerful for appropriately informing HorizonOne’s recruitment strategies and initiatives. And together we identify and consider cultural issues and sensitivities that may unintentionally exclude Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People from applying for career opportunities.
 
HorizonOne has a strong commitment to promoting employment opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander job seekers and creating an environment where Indigenous people can thrive.
