The Department of Home Affairs released hiring data for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants compared to non-Indigenous applicants across five financial years (2019-20 to 2023-24). Indigenous hires ranged from 47 to 135 annually, while non-Indigenous hires ranged from 2,777 to 6,325. In FY2023-24, the department hired 101 Indigenous applicants and 4,367 non-Indigenous applicants, with 199 applicants preferring not to answer. The data was extracted from candidate profiles where applicants self-identified their heritage status. The department noted figures may vary due to retrospective changes in its human resources management system.
