Stories from the team
What do we do
We provide legal, commercial, consulting and analytics services to government. We collaborate with our clients to overcome challenges, and achieve excellent outcomes.
Your previous experience doesn’t dictate what you do moving forward. We encourage people to gain exposure to the different areas of our business and we see huge value in them transferring these skills and experience to new areas. Our employees thrive on the diversity and different areas of work where they can gain experience.
Our areas of specialisation include:
Equal opportunity employer
Our highly capable workforce includes those who actively juggle roles as parents, carers or students.
We offer flexible working arrangements to allow individuals to opt for meaningful part-time work or, where needed, work outside of the traditional ‘9 to 5’.
At SPA Australia we have developed a reputation as an employer that genuinely promotes and supports gender equality.
We have an open and non-discriminatory approach to recruitment and are committed to assisting any Indigenous personnel or personnel with disabilities.
It is the policy of SPA Australia to afford equal employment opportunities to all qualified individuals. We recruit, hire, train and promote persons in all job titles without regard to race, colour, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, marital status, genetic information, or disability.
Diversity is embraced across our workforce and we support constructive differences in voice and opinion. We use this to generate fresh ideas and see things from multiple perspectives.
We use a diverse range of suppliers including Indigenous owned, minority owned, women owned, disability inclusive as well as small and micro businesses for printing, design, merchandise, cleaning and other services.
