In November 2022 Millennium became a Supply Nation member reinforcing our commitment to diversity both within our workforce and procurement processes.
We recognise the value of a diverse supply chain to drive innovation and flexibility within our organisation, and we also believe that by ensuring that our procurement decisions include Indigenous businesses, that we can contribute to greater economic empowerment of First Nation’s Australians and contribute to ‘closing the gap’.
Supply Nation Chief Executive Officer, Ms Jodie Taylor, said “We are delighted to welcome MILLENNIUM SERVICES GROUP LIMITED as a member of Supply Nation and look forward to working with them to develop their supplier diversity footprint”.
Supply Nation is Australia’s leader in supplier diversity and custodian of the largest database of verified Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander businesses – Indigenous Business Direct. Since 2009, Supply Nation has worked to foster connections between Indigenous businesses and procurement teams from government and corporate Australia. Supply Nation’s support, combined with a range of business tools and training, helps members incorporate Indigenous businesses into their supply chain, and contribute to the growth and sustainability of the Indigenous business sector.
While we are a Supply Nation member, Codee Cleaning Services, our indigenous business partner, is a verified Supply Nation certified business.
Supplier diversity is a growing movement in Australia as we work to create a more inclusive economy.

United: Our Reconciliation Journey
In 2022, Lani Balzan created a painting to represent Millennium’s journey towards Reconciliation and achieving greater unity with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and communities.
The centrepiece represents Millennium, its clients, team and community it works within. The painting is centred around the circle which is a symbol of a Gathering which represents a place for all, and is culturally connecting to Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. It symbolises the importance of Reconciliation and how Millennium is proud of their journey towards the future.
The wavey line within the centrepiece represents the journey for opportunities for growth. The pathways diagonally across represents Millennium’s journey moving into the future.
The States, and Territories are represented around the centrepiece to show the many areas that Millennium works in and the wavey lines coming from these shows the many Nationalities of people that have come to this country and worked for Millennium over many years. Western Australia is directly connected to the centrepiece for the partnership agreement with Codee Cleaning, an Aboriginal owned business.

Millennium New Zealand business profile
16 August 2021
This month, Business View Oceania Magazine published a profile of our New Zealand business following an interview with Jared O’Neill, National Operations Manager at Millennium New Zealand.
Jared provides his unique insight into the NZ Millennium overall mission, continued evolution, core values and operations throughout the country. He explains that Millennium New Zealand is committed to providing services of the highest quality to every client, every time, and that this approach has assisted the company in marketing and overall growth. “In the context of internationally, we are still in a very small market. …..when you are a small to medium sized organisation like ourselves, (in the NZ market) you compete with companies three or four times the size. At the moment, we are solely based around the opportunity to deliver a good service to customers.”

Multicultural Millennium
2 JULY 2021
Our diversity is something we celebrate because we know that Australia is a diverse country and in order to understand and serve our clients and Australian communities, we want to reflect them in our workforce.
In June we ran a team member survey asking our people what language they preferred to speak at home, apart from English, and more than 1,000 people responded.
One of the drivers for understanding preferred languages is to ensure effectiveness of communications. We also asked team members if they wanted information provided to them at work in languages other than English, and 5% said they would prefer information be translated into languages other than English.

With one in five people in Australia having some form of disability, we know it is important we work to advance access and inclusion of people with disabilities.
As an employer, we want everyone who works for us to have the right environment so they can participate fully and do their best. As a service provider, we want to be proactive and thinking about the needs of people with disabilities in the spaces we work in.
