Veterans at Veolia

'Veterans at Veolia' is a program designed to support and provide opportunities for our veterans in the transition from serving to civilian.

Veolia Australia and New Zealand recognises the opportunities that can be provided to our former Defence Force personnel and their families.

The program aims to support our Veterans in the transition from serving to civilian. It gives former Defence personnel the opportunity to transfer their extensive skills, experiences and knowledge to our business, while supporting them throughout their career journey.

Our Commitment to the Defence Force Community

Veolia is committed to offering ex-service personnel meaningful and successful civilian careers upon leaving the forces. We value and see the skills and experience gained in the Defence Force, as essential and transferable for our workforce.

We are proud to have signed The Soldier On Pledge and are committed to supporting Veterans and their families, to secure their future careers, in collaboration with the Soldier on Pathways Program.

As part of our commitment, we’ve signed the Prime Minister’s Veteran Employment Program and are creating initiatives that provide career pathways and recognise the skills and experiences that Veterans bring to our sector.

Veolia Australia & New Zealand has established an internal Veterans Community Network that meets regularly, to identify opportunities for Veolia to improve how we attract Veterans to Veolia and improve our Veteran employee experience. Some of the actions we have introduced or are currently in the process of implementing include:

A Veteran Buddy program

Celebrate Veterans at Veolia Day - a day to celebrate the Veterans who are currently employed at Veolia
