At Greenacres, we recognise that our people are our best asset. As part of the Greenacres family, you are part of the bigger picture, you contribute to something far greater than clocking in and out. By supporting people with disability to live their best everyday lives, everything you do has a meaningful purpose. We are continually working to foster a culture of support, that emulates our Values, in addition we offer the following benefits to our employees:
Whilst not on the front line, there are many roles integral to our operations from leadership positions to IT, Finance, HR, Engagement and Customer Service, Marketing, WHS, Quality and Safeguarding.
We’ve teamed up with AccessPay to offer special benefits for people working in the non-profit sector. You can get up to $15,900 a year in salary packaging benefits. This means part of your earnings won’t be taxed, thanks to a special break from the Federal Government.
Why does this matter? Well, it helps you keep more of your hard-earned money! If you work for a non-profit, it’s a way of saying thank you for your valuable work.
Plus, there is more. If you want a meal and entertainment card, you can get tax-free benefits for dining out and staying places, up to an extra $2,650 a year.
We believe in giving back to our employees, and these salary packaging options are just one way we do that.
