APA is a leading Australian energy infrastructure business, connecting Australian’s to responsible energy since 2000. We employ around 1900 people around Australia. 

We own and/or operate around $22 billion of energy infrastructure assets across Australia, including gas storage, processing and compressions facilities, gas-fired power stations and wind and solar farms. Our 15,000 kilometres of gas transmission pipelines deliver about half the nation’s natural gas usage. APA is also the sixth largest owner of renewable power generation assets in Australia.

Our purpose is to strengthen communities through responsible energy. We’re building a sustainable business by creating value for our stakeholders – our customers, investors, employees, the environment, and the communities in which we operate. We responsibly use the resources available to us, without compromising the needs of future generations.

Our community investment program connects our business and our people to the communities in which we work and live by adding value and leaving a lasting and meaningful footprint in our communities. The communities we focus on are those that we operate in and with, in particular regional communities and First Nation people. Two examples are our long-term corporate partnerships with the Clontarf Foundation and The Fred Hollows Foundation.

We’re driven by our values – they are our compass, guiding our decision-making and how we go about our business. Our values are summarised as S.T.A.R.S; Safe, Trustworthy, Adaptable, Results and Service. 

As we continue to develop and expand our operating portfolio, we will continue to invest in our greatest asset: our people. We are committed to achieving diversity of thought across the business by providing a safe and inclusive workplace where employees thrive, both in the moment and for the future.
