We are a team that values collaboration, integrity, and professionalism, working together to drive meaningful change and create a positive impact.
Our Shire is known for its vibrant communities, natural beauty, rich heritage, and commitment to sustainability. As a Council, we embrace these strengths while fostering a supportive and transparent culture, where innovation and bold thinking are encouraged. We know that progress happens in partnership, and we work closely with our community, businesses, and stakeholders to build a thriving future.
At Indigo Shire Council, our values define how we work:
Safe and Supported
We create an environment where our people feel empowered to challenge the status quo and be bold. We also recognise the importance of work/life balance and offer flexible working options, including varied start and finish times, part-time hours, remote work, and time in lieu. Our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides free, confidential counselling services for employees and their immediate family members, offering support for both personal and professional challenges.
We are committed to supporting our employees with generous parental leave provisions for full-time and part-time employees, including primary, secondary, and grandparent leave.
Commitment and Integrity
We act with accountability and positive intent, leading with integrity to drive the changes our community needs. Our parental leave provisions reflect our commitment to integrity, ensuring our employees are supported throughout important life stages.
Collaborative and Open
We engage deeply with our community and each other, valuing open communication and teamwork. Our Social Club enhances employee morale and provides opportunities for social interaction through a variety of activities and discounts, available for a small fee via payroll deduction.
Strategic and Professional
We balance responsiveness and excellent service delivery with diligent planning for the future. With offices in Beechworth, Yackandandah, Rutherglen, and Chiltern, Indigo Shire showcases Australia’s most significant collection of historic towns and stunning natural landscapes in the beautiful North East of Victoria.
