Benefits
We take our benefits seriously – taking care of the health and wellbeing of our happy, highly skilled KINNECTers means we can help more people.
Based on real employee feedback, we offer a generous range of benefits from relocation assistance, flexible work arrangements, ongoing learning and development, to the opportunity to purchase additional leave.
(And then there’s our amazing culture…)
Flexible Work Arrangements
We know there is more to life than work. As much as possible, we aim to offer flexible working arrangements in relations to hours, patterns and locations of work and your job with KINNECT can evolve as your life changes.
Everybody is entitled to request flexible work arrangements, with the decision based on balancing employee circumstances with operational requirements. Currently, we have many staff members who work remotely from home, those who work from home and an office, and plenty who work part-time or casual hours.
Plus, with 14 offices located in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Western Australia, transferring to another location is a possibility for our people.
Opportunities to Learn and Grow with the Business
When KINNECTers progress in their careers, so does our business. That’s why we offer numerous professional development opportunities throughout the year to help you learn and grow in your role. Our comprehensive program includes opportunities to grow the technical skills required for your day-to-day role, regular virtual learning sessions, professional development days and our in-house Emerging Leaders Program.
We also run a clinical education program for our Health Professionals to help them meet their continuing professional development point requirements.
Best of all, your professional development is completely funded by KINNECT and is uncapped every year.
Additional Annual Leave
If you like holidays, welcome to the club. We offer 4 weeks annual leave plus the option to purchase (or sell) additional leave to enjoy as you wish. We know this helps our people find the work-life balance they need.
Take your Birthday Off
We really love birthdays at KINNECT. Enjoy a paid day off each year on us to celebrate your birthday if it falls on a workday. Nobody (even our leaders) should be at work on their birthday!
Giving Back to our Community
We believe our business plays a positive role in the communities we serve.
Our KINNECT Kulture Reps work with our people to choose charitable causes close to their hearts to participate in, and fundraise for, throughout the year with contributions often matched by KINNECT.
We do this because it’s part of our ‘Why’ to help people. Plus, helping others makes us all happier and healthier.
Social Events
We work hard at KINNECT but we’re careful to make sure there is a balance between work and play.
Our Kulture Team makes sure you’ll get to spend quality time with your colleagues at a range of social events throughout the year. Each location has a set budget and decides how they want to spend their time together. Perhaps an after-work dinner? Lawn bowls? Laser Tag? Paint and Sip?
Each year we also celebrate our company birthday (known as K-Day) with an annual virtual awards lunch and a fabulous team activity and/or meal somewhere chosen by you.
Recognition
Be recognised and rewarded for your hard work through our weekly Positives recognition program.
Our Positives program encourages colleagues and management send an email, or a “positive”, to an employee who is has done exceptional work or who has helped them in some way.
We also have weekly and monthly prizes for colleagues who demonstrated our core values: happy, highly skilled KINNECTers, creating sustainable value with no surprises.
Travel Allowance
Many KINNECTers enjoy the opportunity to travel for work and seeing parts of the country they’ve never been to before. If you are travelling for work, we will compensate you for your time away from home and your family with a generous allowance.
Progression for High Achievers
At KINNECT we acknowledge and reward high achievers. Our system of transparent score cards mean that high achievers often progress quicker and receive more regular pay raises than traditional business models.
We promote you based on what you’ve achieved, not how long you’ve been with us, so you’re welcome to request a scorecard review when you’re ready – not just on an annual basis.
Career Change
As we grow, we’re create new positions within different departments. With this growth comes the option for existing KINNECTers to progress their career into another area within the business.
We prefer to promote internally over recruiting externally so we’ll happily support you in this career change and ensure you trained and equipped to rise to the next challenge.
Relocation Allowance
Whether you’re looking for more space, to be more connected with the natural environment or to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle, there is so much that working in regional Australia has to offer.
If you are moving regionally for a role at KINNECT, we can help you with a contribution towards your relocation costs and provide quarterly flights home so you can keep connected with your loved ones.
