 Why work for us?  We offer

• Salary packaging, sometimes called salary sacrificing is a huge attraction here! It is a popular way of providing employees in the community sector with tax benefits over and above their salary. It means the real value of a salary package can be significantly higher than the nominal value.
• Career Development opportunities
• Employee Assistance Program
• We offer a place where you know you are contributing to a firm committed to helping others. We are passionate about #SocialJustice.
