Positive, respectful and flexible

We think organisational culture is so important that our staff have created a code of behaviour to guide our work. We’re proud to say this is much more than a document – it’s at the heart of the way we work together. Our code is built on the core values we think should guide how we relate to each other:

  • Respect
  • Responsibility
  • Acceptance
  • Positivity.

We also support flexible work arrangements such as job sharing and home working because we believe work-life balance is fundamental to a happy, healthy, productive team. Our teams also gather regularly for purposeful face-to-face work in our modern co-working spaces in Melbourne and Sydney.
