First Nations Advisory Circle
Recognising the importance of collaborating with First Nations people, we have established a First Nations External Advisory Circle to provide guidance and a voice on actions towards reconciliation and matters related to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander affairs within TPG Telecom and the communities it supports.

Made up of external First Nations business leaders and representatives from TPG Telecom, the Advisory Circle will work closely with TPG Telecom to promote cultural safety, respect and understanding, acknowledging the rich cultures and achievements of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

The Advisory Circle represents an important step towards developing and strengthening meaningful relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and developing new strategies and programs to improve outcomes for First Nations peoples.

Aurora Education Foundation
TPG Telecom is thrilled to partner with leading First Nations education not-for-profit, the Aurora Education Foundation to launch an Intern Support Fund, which supports First Nations interns to excel in the workplace. The Indigenous Intern Support Fund supplies critical items to interns that need them, better setting them up for success in their internships. Many internship candidates experience financial challenges when it comes to accessing the necessary resources for success in a corporate setting – from professional attire to technology and corporate coaching. TPG Telecom’s funding helped supply these vital resources to interns that need them, enhancing their chances for success during their internships and future careers.
