Parental Leave
At Burnet, we want to support employees with family/caring responsibilities and appreciate that many of our employees are managing both professional and parental responsibilities. Hence, we offer 12 weeks of paid parental leave for eligible staff, in addition to the Government Paid Parental Leave Scheme.
Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
Burnet aims to provide workplace benefits that add value and support to your life, both inside and outside of the workplace. This program is a free confidential counselling service for all staff and their immediate family members. EAP counselling may assist in clarifying a problem, identifying options and developing plans to approach difficult issues. Counselling can take place on the phone, face-to-face or online.
Social Club
A very active social club at Burnet organises inclusive events for staff throughout the year. Examples include Connect (workplace social media platform), Craft Club, Coding and Software Club, and the Burnet Book Club!
