Salary and Flexibility

Salary packaging
All Australian-based employees enjoy generous salary packaging benefits which allow you to increase your take home pay by saving on your income tax. Salary packaging allows you to pay for certain expenses like your mortgage, rent or private health insurance before your taxable income is calculated.
Hybrid working arrangements
With employees in 23 countries, AVI has finetuned the art of remote working. We have built our systems and processes to enable our staff to work effectively wherever they are. However there is also something special about being able to collaborate with your colleagues face to face and staff still have access to a traditional desk when they need it.
Flexible working arrangements
AVI offers a highly flexible work environment to cater for family commitments, hobbies and, well, life. Depending on your role, our flexible work policies enable you to work from home, compress your work week, or job share where appropriate.

Pet friendly
Wednesdays are ‘bring your dog to work’ day in our Melbourne office. It’s well known that having pets in the office can reduce stress and improve morale.
