• Competitive remuneration and access to exclusive discounts. Make life easier (and more affordable) with $80 monthly credit and 25% off Optus products and unique shopping discounts with our retail partners.
• Embrace what matters most with a paid Connected Day each year to focus on culture, family, health, community, or whatever’s important to you.
• Direct your own development and build future-ready skills with Optus U’s industry-focused micro-credentials, developed with La Trobe and Macquarie Universities.
