Your safety, health and wellbeing are our priorities

Be part of a team that cares

We foster a work environment built on support that is flexible around our employees’ wellbeing needs.

Flexible working 

We understand that life can be unpredictable, and that people have different support requirements to help them balance work and personal commitments. Our flexible working arrangements empowers our teams to balance work and life commitments effectively. Whether it’s flexible hours, working from home, set rosters or the need to work in a different location we can work with you to consider available flexible work practices.

Wellness

We recognise that a healthy mind is rooted in a healthy body. To support your wellbeing, local health programs and initiatives are periodically organised at various work sites, including flu vaccinations and health checks.

Mental health 

Our Mental Health First Aid program offers training to our people, giving them the tools and techniques to support their colleagues, family and friends experiencing mental health challenges until they can access professional help. This also complements our professional, confidential services like our Employee Assistance Program (EAP), which is available 24X7 to our people.
