We value a flexible, supportive, and positive work culture

Our staff are spread across Australia, and we provide the option for people to work from their farm or home, or to work from one of our office hubs. We’ve currently got co-working space in Canberra, Melbourne and Castlemaine (Vic).

We use a range of digital collaboration tools to stay in touch and work effectively together, and are committed to making sure staff have everything they need to get the job done.

We offer four weeks annual leave, personal and carers’ leave provisions, and we grant a day of extra leave on your birthday. We also offer office shutdown leave on the days between Christmas and New Year without deduction from your annual leave.

We have a commitment and budget for staff to tailor their professional development and take up networking opportunities that enhance their skills and experience.

We have a clear strategy and plan guiding our work, and we celebrate our wins and achievements together.

We strive to maintain a culture of wellbeing. We are set up to support part-time and flexible working conditions, and we put things in place to ensure all staff have a healthy work-life balance, including for people with caring responsibilities. We offer staff allowances for mental health and wellbeing services and supports.
