Employee benefits

We don’t just talk about wellbeing – we give our employees options and opportunities to actively improve their health, including:

• On-site walking tracks at the Eight Mile Plains campus and regular affordable fitness programs run by fitness experts.
• Health benefits including annual flu vaccinations onsite at Eight Mile Plains, skin checks, eye health checks and more. Access to a comprehensive health and wellbeing program, wellness rooms onsite at Eight Mile Plains and resources including nutritional education and health and wellbeing webinars.
• Corporate Health offer with external provider offering discounted health insurance cover.

weFLEX is our commitment to providing a flexible work environment that empowers our people at work and at home, to bring out the best in all of us. weFLEX means much more than just accommodating an individual’s needs – it’s about redesigning our work as a team, to maximise our wellbeing and performance.

At RACQ, we offer our employees:

• Paid parental leave (including surrogacy and adoption): Access 13 weeks paid leave to primary caregivers and 26 weeks of superannuation after 12 months of service. Non-primary caregivers can also access 3 weeks of paid leave after 12 months of service.
• Purchased leave: Eligible employees can buy up to an additional 4 weeks of annual leave each year.
• Personal leave: 12 days of personal leave per year after the first 2 years of service, rather than the usual 10. One of those additional days can be used for any wellbeing purpose each year.
• Paid community leave: Eligible employees can take 1 day of paid community leave per year to work with local charities.
• Cultural observance leave: Access up to 5 unpaid days per year for ceremonial and cultural purposes.
• Substitution of public holidays for cultural/religious reasons: Request to substitute a public holiday with an alternate day of cultural or religious significance (subject to operational requirements).
• Gender affirmation leave: One week of paid leave and up to 12 months unpaid leave to support an employee taking steps to affirm their gender (also known as gender transition).

We provide a confidential Employee Assistance Program (EAP) through an independent organisation that gives our employees and their family members 24/7 access to specialist counsellors who can offer support.

Your wellbeing is important to us – both here and in your life outside of work. RACQ is committed to supporting employees who are affected by domestic and family violence. We provide 10 days paid leave per year where needed and a number of our people are trained as peer volunteer contacts.

At RACQ, we enable you to make a positive difference to Queenslanders lives by giving you one community leave day each year. We have a range of charity partners you and your team can reach out to, or you’re invited to find your own not-for-profit charity to support.

Employees can participate in various events RACQ is involved in, including MotorFest and RACQ Foundation projects.

It’s important to us that everybody feels they belong at RACQ, whoever you are, wherever you’re from. We’re committed to embracing diversity in our people and to nurturing a workplace where you can be you. We want all our people to succeed in work and life and feel supported to do good stuff daily. Placing equity, inclusion and belonging at the heart of this, we’re on a mission to minimise the barriers people face in the workplace so that everyone can be their authentic self at RACQ.

We know that building an inclusive culture depends on our people, and we understand the importance of connection, security, community, and feeling like you’re at home, without reservation. Our Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) are a fantastic way to connect with community at RACQ, and we invite you to get involved with them, whether that’s joining formally, attending an event, or keeping up to date on their internal social channels.

We support our employees’ continued development by offering:

• In-house education: We offer face-to-face and digital training programs
• We offer Day in the Life experiences to support collaboration and career development across RACQ
• RACQ Leadership: Our leaders are given learning and development experiences that equip them with the skills needed to provide a unified employee experience and broaden their leadership capability

We believe in recognising our employees for the outstanding work they do and for demonstrating our values:

• Bravo Program: A platform for employees to recognise their peers, sign and send celebration cards and nominate their colleagues for Bravo Awards. There is also the opportunity to earn points which can be redeemed for gift vouchers, products, or for experiences.
• Performance incentives: A discretionary payment that recognise and rewards an employee’s performance and personal contribution to the success of achieving RACQ’s business objectives (subject to eligibility).
• Referral incentives: Rewards for employees who successfully refer suitable and talented job applicants via the RACQ Recommend a Friend Program.
