Be You, You Belong


TPG Telecom

Inclusion and Belonging

We believe in embracing different backgrounds, experiences, and ideas. We know that diverse perspectives lead to better business outcomes. Only by listening to unique perspectives, can we best understand and serve our diverse customer base, collaborate successfully, and innovate in a world of increasingly fast-paced change. We aim to create an environment of equality where each of us feels supported and respected to be ourselves at work and are continuing to extend and enhance our long-standing focus on creating an inclusive workplace, where all our people belong.

Our vision for equality extends to our customers and communities, where we believe we can make a difference. This includes driving initiatives to help influence girls and young women to consider a career in Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths (STEM), and using our role as a leading telecommunications provider to address the inequality and inequity faced by First Nations peoples. Our commitments include Developing and implementing a harmonised approach to gender pay equity, increasing female representation across leadership STEM functions and all employees and other initiatives.

Supporting our LGBTQI+ employees

We want our LGBTQI+ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer and Intersex) employees and customers to be proud of who they are, because we’re proud to stand alongside them.

Our Connect: LGBTQI+ and Friends Network aims to bring together all employees to champion equality and create a safe community for LGBTQI+ employees and allies. Collectively, we work to foster an accepting and inclusive environment where all employees are able to be themselves and belong, to enable us all to thrive together. Our name ‘Connect’ is reflective of this purpose as we connect with one another internally, and externally with the community locally and globally. In addition to celebrating key dates of significance throughout the year, we also educate our employees through training and resources around LGBTQI+ inclusion.

- In 2021, we introduced gender affirmation leave at TPG Telecom across all our locations, including Australia and Manila.

- In 2022 we bought our continued commitment to LGBTQI+ inclusion to life in varied ways, all of which you can read more on in our 2022 Yearbook of Pride.
