SDG Goal Alignment
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Port of Newcastle is committed to fostering an inclusive and equitable workplace that values diversity.
A diverse PON is one where we recognise, respect and value differences based on ethnicity, gender, age, race, religion, disability, and sexual orientation, and each other’s unique characteristics and experiences.
An inclusive PON is one where our people have access to opportunities, are supported to contribute their very best, empowered to contribute and fulfil their potential, inspired to collaborate and connect, feel valued and confident to partake and grow and have a sense of belonging.

“A diverse and inclusive culture at PON will be built on solid foundations we form from the genuine involvement of our staff and our community”
Craig Carmody, CEO
Reconciliation Action Plan
Port of Newcastle’s Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) was formally endorsed by Reconciliation Australia in December 2024. The document builds upon the significant progress we have made since launching our inaugural Reflect RAP in 2022. It outlines our strategies and measurable actions for strengthening our cultural understanding and, in turn, our organisation’s relationship with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
