· We're proud to put people first with wellbeing at the forefront of our culture, one example of this is that every employee receives $550 a year to put towards their wellbeing! In 2023 this was recognised in our #3 ranking in the Australia's Great Place To Work survey.

· All employees participate in the Baringa Group Profit Share Scheme so everyone has a stake in the company's success.
· At Baringa, we recognise the importance of work-life balance, and we know that the 'ideal' balance will vary from person to person and will change at different stages of our working lives. If you require flexible working, please talk to one of our Recruiters about the flexibility you may need.
· Our world is important to us, so all our employees get 3 days every year to help social and environmental causes and increase our impact on the communities that mean the most to us.
· We recognise everyone needs a well-deserved break - As such we have introduced the 'Re-charge' benefit meaning Baringa will offer all employees an additional 2 weeks of paid leave after 5 years continuous service.
