Flexible Working

Flexible Start Times

Our flexible start time policy allows team members to adjust their typical daily hours (start and finish) to accommodate family and work commitments. Teams can discuss their preferred hours with their manager in advance and reach a mutual agreement. While we offer flexibility, it is important to note that this must occur within AHRI’s core business hours, considering the needs of our team, stakeholders, and members.

Hybrid Working

Achieve work-life balance and cut down on weekly travel to the office! While we support remote working, we also acknowledge the benefits of working together in the office and as such we currently have a 2:3 model (2 days in the office and 3 days out of the office). This model is adjusted for part-time employees. We also provide new starters with financial support to set up their home office.

Working Interstate/Overseas

Online collaboration has changed where we need to work, with AHRI having skilled employees across the country. AHRI employees can also request to work overseas for defined periods to support family or travel commitments.

Purchasing Additional Annual Leave

AHRI employees can request to purchase 1 or 2 weeks of additional leave per year.
