Apprenticeships

Asplum & Civil is committed to Indigenous employment, training and career advancement in the Territory.

Indigenous Engagement

Asplum & Civil is committed to Indigenous employment, training, and career advancement across Central Australia. Guided by our Indigenous Development Policy, we aim to create real opportunities that support long-term economic participation and community growth.


We actively seek Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander candidates for employment, apprenticeships, and training pathways. Our goal is to reach at least 30% Indigenous representation across our workforce. New employees are supported through mentoring, role-specific training, and cultural onboarding to help them thrive in their careers.


We continue to grow this representation through local partnerships and recruitment programs. We also prioritise working with subcontractors and suppliers who demonstrate a commitment to Indigenous engagement.


At Asplum & Civil, we believe in building more than infrastructure—we believe in building stronger communities and long-term career pathways for all.
