Stockland Graduate Programs & Internships

Our Stockland story

For more than 70 years, Stockland have been creating and curating communities with people at the heart of the places we create.

As one of Australia’s largest diversified property groups, we are building on our legacy, helping more Australians achieve the dream of home ownership and creating places and spaces full of energy, soul and life - from residential and land lease communities, through to retail town centres, workplaces and logistics assets.

Our purpose - a better way to live - is central to everything we do.

Our culture

Together, we create the future. It’s a big statement that reflects what we do every day. We are excited about what the future holds. The future is reflected in what we do, how we work each day, and demonstrates the impact our work has on communities and our country. 

This is brought to life by our employees and guided by our values.  Stockland focuses on four key values: community, accountability, respect and excellence (CARE).

A career with us means you’ll work alongside people with diverse expertise who share the same goal of making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate – a commitment that is at the heart of what we do.

Across all our job families and different locations, our team members are united in their belief that there is a better way to live.

Our Employee Value Proposition is testament to how we’re creating the future.

We're driven to deliver, sustainably

We believe we have both the opportunity and the responsibility to create the right balance of social, environmental and economic conditions for our communities, customers and investors now and in the future. Our sustainability strategy integrates with our business strategy and priorities, providing a better way to deliver shared value for all stakeholders.

We have a long and proud history of contributing to local communities across Australia. Our numerous giving, volunteering and community development activities reflect this commitment. Our Giving and Volunteering program provides a wide range of opportunities for employees to get involved and contribute to the communities in which we operate.

The Stockland CARE Foundation, established in 2015, also provides a tangible expression of our commitment. The CARE Foundation amplifies our support of Australian communities by directing our investment to strategic partners in the areas of wellbeing and education; boosts existing opportunities for employee giving and volunteering efforts; and supports our overarching sustainability strategy

We collaborate to grow and succeed

At Stockland, we support each other to succeed by sharing our energy, expertise, ideas and insights. Our customers benefit when we bring our masterplans and developments to life by collaborating with internal and external experts and stakeholders. Our team benefits when together we deliver on our commitments, achieving great results while living our values. Our people also benefit from enjoying a range of experiences and opportunities to grow their career through collaboration.

We find flexible ways to work

We encourage our people to work flexibly in the way that works best for them. We understand that our people work best when their work and non-work lives are working well together. We also recognise that no two lives are the same. We support flexible work arrangements so our people can train for a marathon, spend time with their children, play sport, or manage their 'life admin'. Our flexible work approach support people to work from an office or asset, home or another location, with clear guidelines and objectives to help people navigate the new world of flexible work.

We’re an organisation that creates communities

When you're part of Stockland, you're part of a broader team that creates communities across the country. We all play a part in delivering valuable places, services and experiences for our customers and communities, whether working directly with customers each day or supporting the teams that create and operate great places. As one of Australia's largest diversified property groups, our people have the opportunity to work alongside colleagues and partners with diverse expertise to make a positive difference to our communities.

We bring common values and different perspectives

We’re committed to diversity in our workforce and a culture of inclusion in our workplaces. We seek out different perspectives to drive inclusive, informed decision making. Delivering on our purpose - a better way to live - means creating a workplace where everyone can belong and contribute. It also means we can better understand our customers, who also come from vibrant and distinctive communities across Australia.

93% of our people believe that Stockland's provides a working environment that is accepting of gender differences.

Everyone can play a part in enhancing Stockland's diversity and inclusion by supporting the four pillars of our diversity and inclusion strategy:

• Wellbeing and Accessibility - Supporting employees wellbeing, helping to reduce burnout, increasing psychological safety, creating an accessible environment to meet physical, mental, and neurodiverse needs, and being an advocate to create awareness for people with disabilities.
• Gender Equity - Ensuring the equitable attraction, retention, development, and remuneration of people at Stockland.
• LGBTQ+ - providing an inclusive workplace for LGBTQ+ employees and enhancing Stockland's positioning as an employer of choice for the LGBTQ+ community.
• Cultural Diversity – Fostering an inclusive, culturally diverse organisation that helps achieve our vision of mirroring, representing, and celebrating the communities we serve.

At Stockland, we acknowledge, respect and value the rich diversity and contribution First Nations People bring to Stockland.  

Our Stretch Reconciliation Action Plan seeks to continue our reconciliation journey and embed reconciliation initiatives into business practices, which ensure we make a valuable contribution to our country by helping to shape thriving communities that value, respect and celebrate Australia’s First People.
