Options we provide for our staff include:

In recognition of the life our staff have outside of work, we offer flexible leave entitlements that enables our staff to fulfil their external commitments, which may include:

 

• Family responsibilities - to attend to the needs of your immediate family
• Emergency Services – for people in the CFA, SES, etc
• Maternity, paternity and adoption leave (in addition to the Federal Government scheme)
• Study leave – if undertaking a course approved by us
• Time in lieu – working additional hours to accrue a flex day each month
• Cultural and Ceremonial – to observe days not currently considered as public holidays in Australia that may be of cultural and ceremonial significance to individuals.

 

We also provide training and development opportunities for our staff. This includes training specifically developed for our workplace, nationally-recognised courses such as certificates and diplomas, and general skills training such as business writing, leadership, and computer programs.
