Culture and Benefits
We know that changing roles is a big decision – so here is what we can offer you:
- Salary packaging – also known as salary sacrifice - means allocating a portion of your salary to pay certain expenses before income tax is calculated. So, on pay day you pay less income tax and have more money for the things that matter.

- Access to training and learning opportunities.
- An Employee Assistance Program offering free and confidential counselling and support.
- Additional paid leave over Christmas.
