Working Hours at Services Australia

Good flexibility

Very flexible

Very flexible, I currently WFH 2 days in the week so I can help take care of my elderly mother. Last week she was unwell so I went home early and continued to work from home on a normal 'office' day, because they understood I wanted to be home for mum.

In my own position I can work 7.5 hours anytime between 7 am and 7pm. Whilst I have regular set hours (9-5), my team doesn't mind me altering those slightly, just require knowing if I'm running late. I also have the ability to build up flex by working 15-30 minutes extra some days, and then using that extra time to take time off later. However I am, once again, the exception. Most places have very strict start and end times, and service officers are not allowed to build up leave without express permission.

Very flexible when it comes to hours.

Good flexibility. Able to choose own hours and build/use flex

I would like the option to WFH as other colleagues do. I would also like to only work 4 days but as the newest member of my team I have been advised working FT hrs in 4 days as other colleagues do is not an option.

Can access WFH arrangements if requested, generally 2-3 days per week but can access more on ad-hoc basis if needed

Depending on what area you work in.

I'm not too sure how flexible we are because I've never asked to change hours, but I think that I would like to decrease the amount I am working.

Very flexible within reason

my team is flexible, but other areas within the agency are not

Depends entirely upon who you get as boss. My boss is an angel and I work in an area when I can come in whenever so long as I work 7.5 hours a day and give notice, but it's entirely dependent on your line manager to give you that luxury. Overtime at least at my level isn't expected.

Very flexible. We accumulate flex-time when we work more than our usual hours. These can then be used for days off/half days/sleep ins etc. As long as you let your manager know and they are supportive you can take time off very flexibly. We can also take annual leave at half pay, and potentially buy additional annual leave days.

Although there is mandatory office attendance within my business stream, I have been supported and recognized for not only coming into the office frequently (especially starting out), but also in WFH. As someone that works 2 jobs, a lack of a hardline on office attendance increases my overall motivation to work. These means that I want to work every day that I can and have worked hard to ensure my overall outputs does not differ either working from home or the office. I'm also probably more introverted than most and make a concerted effort to ask for help when I unequivocally cannot find the answer somewhere else. Again, this has been recognized by the Data Exchange stream and I have felt because of this, I have been managing myself in my initial time with the agency.

Very flexible, not yet WFM but few impediment to that

My work is very flexible. They are understanding of needs outside of work and are fully willing to help accomodate that and enable employee autonomy.

Very flexible In addition to the normal leave entitlements there is flex time and annual leave half pay is also available

My team is flexible about working from home ad hoc. I work 2 days a week from home and am able to extend that in emergencies or to cater to my carer responsibilities or health problems.

I work my 7.5 hours and I can accrue flex when I want and how I want after having discussed with my manager. I also enjoy working from home two days a week. Occasionally I would say I can do my assigned tasks in less time than I must be at work but overall I am glad I can just do my 7.5 hours with no expectation of any more at my current working level
