Form of workAbout us
Kinetic is Australia and New Zealand’s largest and most diverse bus operator, moving more than 75 million passengers per year across some of the most recognisable names in bus transport. We deliver these services through our 7500 people and fleet of over 5000 buses.
As Australia’s and New Zealand’s leading bus network and Equal Opportunities employer, Kinetic plays a proactive role in promoting equality, diversity and inclusion in everything we do. Our Equity and Inclusion Plan sets out our commitment to becoming more diverse, inclusive, equitable and culturally safe.
Right now in the bus driving industry Women are underrepresented and our goal is to completely change that so that at least 50% of our drivers are women by 2030!
We have a long road to travel to this goal and we would like the women of australia to come along and jump in the bus lane with us!
