We offer a range of employee benefits, from industry-leading parental leave entitlements to a range of flexible work arrangements.

The Workplace Injury Commission offers its people the opportunity to undertake a formal course of study for qualifications relevant to the organisation’s business needs. This program has supported our people to increase their career potential.

The Workplace Injury Commission supports its people to study with one or more of the following: paid leave, unpaid leave, and/or a financial contribution towards course fees or materials.

Through this program, the Workplace Injury Commission seeks to provide the support that assists our people to perform to their maximum capability in their current roles. We believe in the recognition and retention of our people and the development of high-performing employees.

Although the Workplace Injury Commission is committed to assisting its people in their educational endeavours, there will be instances where some of our people may personally contribute to the cost of their studies.

Our people have access to salary packaging options with arrangements to salary sacrifice in respect of superannuation, a novated lease and/or other approved benefits under State or Federal legislation.
