Serco is proud to have been recognised as Employer of the Year in the 2024 Prime Minister’s National Veterans’ Employment Awards in the large firm category.
The annual awards recognise the achievements of Australian organisations that actively recruit, employ, and support veterans and partners, and create workplaces where they can thrive. Serco has been selected as a finalist for four consecutive years.
This esteemed award follows our recent recognition as a Veteran Employer of Choice by the Department of Veterans Affairs and being inducted as a Gold Member in the Defence Reserves Supportive Employer Program by the Australian Defence Force (ADF) Reserves & Employer Support Division.
As a trusted partner of the ADF for more than 25 years, Serco is honoured to achieve these prestigious recognitions, reaffirming our commitment to supporting those who have served, and those who continue to serve the nation.
Serco Defence Managing Director, Peter Behrendt said this latest recognition emphasises Serco's commitment to providing meaningful employment and a supportive workplace for the more than 700 veterans and reservists within our workforce.
"Being recognised as Veteran Employer of the Year is an incredible honour that underscores our deep commitment to supporting veterans. Their skills, dedication, and resilience enrich our workforce, and we take immense pride in creating a workplace where they can thrive."
"This recognition reaffirms our dedication to empowering veterans as they transition to civilian careers. As a veteran myself, I am so proud to work alongside 700 fellow veterans for a company that prioritises and acknowledges our service, while fostering an environment that supports and values our contributions and unique perspectives.”
