Indigenous Affairs Recruitment at the DIBP: Gone?

Watch this great and inspirational story about Jeremy, the Indigenous Australian working at the DIBP:

http://www.immi.gov.au/News/Pages/jeremys-journey.aspx

At the end of the film, it states:

INDIGENOUS CAREERS INFORMATION: 

www.immi.gov.au/about/careers/indigenous-careers.htm

When typing in the above address the user is re-directed to the following web-page which contains nothing about Indigenous Careers:

http://www.immi.gov.au/About/Pages/careers/working-with-us.aspx

Rightfully, an Indigenous Australian would assume that there is a dedicated web-page at the DIBP for Indigenous Australians just like the link says.  But there isn't.  One word:  Disappointing.

I have now scoured the Office of the MARA website and found nothing about Indigenous Australians who may wish to become Registered Migration Agents.  I will write to the CEO today asking him to consider including this as part of the diversity initiative.  I am sure there will be plenty of debate around the English Testing of Aboriginal Australians.
