Where to post Indigenous jobs in Australia

If you are hiring Indigenous, Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islander candidates in Australia, the place you post the role matters. A generic job board can bring reach, but it often misses the context candidates need to decide whether a role is genuinely relevant, respectful and worth applying for.

Use this guide to choose the right channels, strengthen your job ad and connect the role with job seekers who are already looking for First Nations employment pathways.

Start with an Indigenous-focused job board

An Indigenous-focused job board helps your role appear in a context where candidates are actively looking for First Nations, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander and Indigenous employment opportunities. That matters for identified roles, community-focused work, regional roles, remote roles and mainstream jobs from employers that want a more inclusive hiring pipeline.

On Barayamal, employers can post jobs for free and candidates can browse roles through current jobs, job alerts, career hubs and country or sector pages.

Where to post Indigenous jobs in Australia

• Barayamal: use the employer account page to publish Indigenous, Aboriginal, Torres Strait Islander, identified, remote, health, government, education, community services and corporate roles.
• Specialist Indigenous employment networks: share the role with relevant First Nations employment, community, university, alumni and professional networks.
• Sector-specific channels: use health, education, government, community services, legal, policy, trades or graduate channels when the role has a clear profession or industry.
• Local and regional networks: for community-facing roles, connect with local organisations and regional employment pathways so candidates can see the role close to home.
• Your own careers page: keep the official listing clear and link to it from every channel so candidates can confirm details and apply safely.

What to include in the job ad

A strong listing reduces uncertainty. Include the role title, location, remote or hybrid expectations, salary range where possible, employment type, closing date, application steps and a contact person for questions.

For identified or targeted roles, explain the basis for the role clearly and respectfully. Candidates should understand who the role is intended for, why that requirement exists and how the organisation supports cultural safety.

• Use plain language instead of internal jargon.
• Name flexible work options, travel expectations and required checks.
• Explain mentoring, supervision, career development and team culture.
• Be clear about whether lived experience, community work or language skills are valued.
• Review the inclusive job ad checklist before publishing.

Common roles employers post

Employers use Indigenous job boards for a wide mix of opportunities, including Aboriginal identified jobs, remote Indigenous jobs, Indigenous health jobs, Indigenous government jobs, education roles, community services roles, legal and justice roles, graduate programs, internships, apprenticeships and corporate roles.

Make the role easy to trust

Candidates are more likely to apply when the ad answers practical questions quickly. Avoid vague commitments. Show what the organisation is doing, who the candidate can speak to and what the application process looks like.

If your organisation is still improving its hiring process, say what support exists today and what candidates can expect during interviews, onboarding and early employment.
