Canberra - a great place to live and work
Most of our positions are in Woden, Canberra. Many people consider relocating, from all over Australia, to live and work in the nation's capital and to experience the unique lifestyle it has to offer.
We promote a work environment that is satisfying and assists our employees to balance their work and personal lives.
About Canberra
With a population of more than 350,000, Canberra has excellent facilities and services. It offers the lifestyle of a world-class capital city, and all without the stress of city traffic.
The stylish cafe and restaurant culture affords a variety of dining experiences, there are wide ranging sporting events and competitions, plenty of open spaces, and there's a year-round program of special events - from Summernats, Floriade and the Multicultural Festival to the Canberra Balloon Fiesta.
Canberra boasts major cultural attractions including the National Gallery, the Australian War Memorial and the National Museum.
When you feel like getting out of town, Canberra's central location means it's only a three-hour drive to Sydney and approximately 150 kilometres from the NSW South Coast. The flight to Melbourne takes just 50 minutes, and the Snowy Mountains ski fields are a near neighbour, within easy reach by car or bus.
