Why our employees like to work here
 
 
Hugh, Senior Policy Advisor, NSW

ACS has been a part of my life and career for nearly five years. In that time ...the people I work with have really become like a second family. Life has its ups and downs but the support I have received from my colleagues has gone beyond that of just a work relationship. ACS has offered a lot of flexibility and opportunity. No two days are the same. I also feel like part of the team and the decision-making process. Your thoughts are valued and taken into consideration – no matter your role or place in the organisation. ACS’ work is also important, now more than ever. Our members’ work and the role of technology in society is the future. I can highly recommend ACS as a place to work and build your career.

 

Jenalle, Membership Services and Events Manager, ACT

At ACS my purpose is to use my experience, knowledge and skills to deliver professional services... and contribute to the organisation and society. ACS allows me to contribute, learn new things, take initiative, share my ideas on continued improvement of internal processes and analyse what members need. I joined ACS in 2010, and I continue to enjoy what I do. No two days are the same, and I can use my cross-functional skills to contribute to the organisation, our members, and to society.


Melissa, ADMA Group Operations Manager, NSW

ACS’ flexible approach to working has enabled me to continue ...my professional development studies and progress my career as a result. The people are often the best part of an organisation, and this is true at ACS. The people are passionate, collaborative and everyone is always happy to share ideas and support each other to achieve our goals. The future looks very exciting at ACS!


Marc, Strategic Initiatives Executive, Tasmania

People are always the greatest assets of any organisation, and this is true also for ...ACS. I love working with my team and find people across the organisation to be enthusiastic about making a difference, more than willing to collaborate to develop solutions and supportive of those around them. Living in a more regional location hasn’t been a barrier to my career, and through ACS’ flexible working arrangements, I’ve been afforded great opportunities over my five-year tenure to build relationships and work with some of the leading technical people in their field on the major disruptive technology challenges facing Australia.


Nicole, Marketing and Events Manager, Victoria

“ACS offers diverse opportunities across the organisation. I’ve had ...the opportunity to become involved in additional business areas and projects of interest, where I’ve been privileged to work with strong leaders, mentors, and supportive team members. ACS offers many great employee benefits, such as RUOK leave days and additional leave across the Christmas period. The company acknowledges the importance of a healthy work-life balance, especially given the impact COVID has had on us all. We all have access to the ACS Mental Health Ambassadors and professional mental health and wellbeing support services. There’s a high level of respect across teams and within the larger organisation. I work with a great leader, and I feel supported in my current position and professional development requirements.

With a bold vision to build Australia’s future technology workforce, we are committed to empowering purposeful careers.

With offices located across Australia, ACS has a diverse variety of roles and career opportunities.
