We are committed to providing a supportive and safe work environment. We provide several support initiatives to improve our employees’ physical, mental and social wellbeing.
Health and Wellbeing Program
Our Health and Wellbeing Program is designed to encourage and support a healthier workplace and healthy lifestyle choices. A seasonal program of events is available to all employees each year.
Healthier Work Accreditation
We hold a Platinum+ accreditation under the ACT Government’s Healthier Work Program. The program helps workplaces to develop and implement programs, policies and practices that lead to healthier workplaces and healthy lifestyle changes for employees.
