That age-old adage “Rome wasn’t built in a day” may be a cliché but everyone must start somewhere. From humble beginnings, we began shipping protective eyewear from our bedroom. With support from our amazing community of customers, SafeStyle quickly outgrew our original worksite. Well, that and Dad wanted us out of the house. Fast-forward a few years and we’re growing rapidly and need to put out a call for help.

With our roots firmly planted in home soil, we collaborate with some of the biggest names in Australia and seek to set a footprint globally. Our goal is world domination, but not at the expense of Mother Nature. We aspire to give back to the community and put the environment at the forefront of everything we do.

Our culture at SafeStyle is simple yet has proven to be effective as we strive to give our employees equal opportunities from both our worksite to their weekend; we work in a fast-paced environment and deliver to deadlines, but also understand that balance is the key to a healthy lifestyle and promote sustainable work practices. We’re fun, focused and dream big.

Our office vibe is a chilled, fun environment with a team of friendly staff who are passionate about our product. We’re a humble bunch that commits to giving our all at work and doing our best to balance lifestyle along the way. Whether it be out in the surf here in Perth, or on a plane somewhere new, we thrive on adventure and hope you do too. So, if you’re committed to your craft but like to have fun along the way then we’re ready for you to become our newest teammate on the SafeStyle journey.
