Your career

We provide you with the tools and support so you can develop your own unique career plan, whichever life stage you’re at.

We offer on-the-job training, mentoring, leadership programs and structured training and development opportunities — as well as encourage ‘squiggly’ career moves across our business that provide new opportunities and possibilities.

Development

You will have regular conversations with your People Leader who will support you in creating or refreshing your own unique career development plan.

The Performance Enablement Process is a critical enabler that helps each of us distil our strategic priorities into personal objectives and focus areas — and to ensure we have a clear understanding of what success looks like.

Want to expand your leadership, project management or social media skills?

You’ll have unlimited access to interactive online courses that span personal and professional topics.

Helping your work-life balance

Employee assistance program

A confidential support service for employees and their families, offering counselling and advice on personal, work, legal, financial, career, and wellbeing matters.

Employee Connection Groups

All our people have an active role to play in helping to create and maintain an inclusive work environment. We have dedicated teams who focus on embedding inclusion into our cultural DNA and business as usual practice. As part of this, we have identified several key areas of focus within the diversity and inclusion space.

We have several employee connection groups which are voluntary, and employee led. Each has a specific focus but a common aim to connect and share the voices, perspectives and experiences of our people.

Social and team events

The Australian Social Clubs provide a great way to meet and get to know your co-workers from other teams at your work location, as well as provide a touch of work-life balance.

The club is coordinated by committees of energetic and passionate volunteers who organise a variety of events and activities for employees throughout the year.
