Austal in the Community
Austal fosters positive and interactive involvement in the local communities where our Australian and USA shipyards operate.
Providing a friendly and community-focused workplace is part of Austal’s on-going commitment to training and employee development.
Austal workers are encouraged to support the community through participating in local events and supporting worthwhile local projects.
Austal Chief Operating Officer, Steve Murdoch, believes it is very important for Austal to be recognised as a sound corporate citizen by supporting local initiatives through a driven and community-proud workforce.
"At Austal our people are our greatest asset and we encourage our staff and their families to take every opportunity to be active in the local community. As a company we sponsor many of the local events and projects in which our staff are involved".
"There is a lot more to Austal than just winning big contracts and building big boats, we are focused on supporting community initiatives wherever and whenever we can."
