Committed to people and communities
As a key part of the Western Australian community and an important player in the gold industry for more than 125 years, The Perth Mint is committed to fostering and maintaining our valued partnerships in the precious metals industry and the communities where we operate.
Our priorities include diversity, equity and inclusion, reconciliation and the safety and wellbeing of employees and stakeholders.
Health, safety and wellbeing
We have a strong commitment to providing a safe working environment for all our employees, contractors and communities where we operate.
Safety is embedded in our operations as one of our core organisational values. This is underpinned by our safety promise: Safe people. Safe workplace. Safely home. We believe every employee should go home safe and well at the end of every shift.
Our safety performance
One of the initiatives in our corporate strategy is to drive improved safety across all our sites. We set annual targets to reduce our Significant Incident Frequency Rate (SIFR) and Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR.

Diversity, equity and inclusion
Our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Strategy 2023-25 outlines our plans and aspirational goals and provides targets against which we can measure our progress.
The strategy is supported by the appointment of a dedicated diversity and inclusion team, employee resource groups and an executive steering committee. This committee will build on the success of the organisation in this area, and work with the employee resource groups to share information, host events and provide support, networking and learning opportunities for our people across the focus areas of:
- Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people
- culturally and linguistically diverse people
- disability, mental health and neurodiversity
- gender
- pride (LGBTIQA+).
In 2023-24, we progressed a range of initiatives to continue to develop a sense of wellbeing and belonging among our people. At 30 June 2024, 85% of the deliverables in the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion strategy had been completed.
