At Fonterra, we believe everyone should be able to see themselves here.
We’re building a workplace and a recruitment experience, where you feel welcomed, respected, and supported to do your best work.
Inclusion is at the heart of our Co-operative.
We’re committed to creating an environment where everyone feels they belong, can contribute and can thrive, whether you’re applying for a role or already part of our whānau (family).
We know there’s no single path into a role. Different experiences, strengths, and ways of thinking help us grow, as teams, as a Co-operative, and as a business.
How We Support You During Your Recruitment Experience
We’re committed to making our recruitment process accessible and inclusive from start to finish.
If you need support, adjustments, or alternative ways to engage at any stage, whether that’s understanding job information, completing an application, interviewing (including whānau interviews), or reviewing an offer, we’ll work with you to find an approach that works for you.

You can let us know what you need in whichever way feels easiest:
•    Through your application
•    By replying to your confirmation email
•    By contacting our Talent Acquisition team

If you’re unable to apply through our online system or need information in a different format, please get in touch. We’re here to help.

How We Support You At Work
We want you to be able to do your best work in a way that works for you.
Depending on your role and location, support may include:
Communities and Connection
Belonging doesn’t happen on your own. It happens together.
Across Fonterra, our employee communities help create connection, support, and a sense of belonging. These are spaces where people can share experiences, learn from each other, and build meaningful relationships.

You’ll find communities that support:
•    cultural connection
•    gender equity
•    neurodiversity
•    LGBTQIA+ inclusion
•    and more

Whether you’re looking for connection, support, or to be an ally, there’s a place for you here:
Our Connection to Te Ao Māori
Our Co-operative approach is grounded in Aotearoa New Zealand and is guided by Te Ao Māori, recognising the mana of tangata whenua and the unique contribution of Māori culture and worldview.
We’re continuing to strengthen our relationships and deepen our understanding of how this shows up in our work. Through manaakitanga (care), kaitiakitanga (guardianship), and whanaungatanga (connection), we aim to create a recruitment and employee experience that respects identity, fosters connection, and supports people to thrive. 

You, me, us together, Tātou, tātou.
