Everyone joins Lion with different backgrounds and experiences, and we strive to create an environment where everyone feels they belong and one where they can thrive. Inclusion and diversity are embedded in our very culture and strategy and you can really see it come to life through:
We are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion, and leveraging our unique perspectives to innovate and grow. If you need specific support or adjustments during the recruitment process, please let us know and we will work towards a solution that ensures a fair and equitable process.
We particularly understand the unique challenges and concerns that transgender and gender-diverse applicants may have throughout the recruitment process. If you are transgender or gender diverse and would like to understand more about the process and how we can support you, please contact Sarah Abbott, our Inclusion & Diversity Leader, at [email protected]com.
When you consider working at Lion, we won’t be asking whether you are a “culture fit,” instead we’ll be asking what you can bring and add to our culture!

Member of Diversity Council of Australia, committed to leading diversity and inclusion in the workplace.
We’ve created a place where you can really be yourself. For us it’s not only about the visible differences such as gender, age and cultural background. Our people bring with them different experiences, skills and perspectives. It’s that diversity of thought that challenges our thinking, sparks breakthrough ideas and new ways of working.
We are about the right people for the right roles and ensuring women that are a part of the Lion team have the encouragement and support to be their best. We have a great range of initiatives in place like our Women at Lion and Women in Drinks mentoring programs, along with policies such as LionFlex and Families at Lion recently introducing domestic violence support. We are committed to being accountable for gender equality and pay equity and that is why we report to our people and communities about our progress.
We have teamed up with some great external partners who support us to continue to build an inclusive and diverse workforce and workplace.
