Increase your income by paying less tax!

Salary Packaging is offered to all permanent full time & part-time staff of UPA. You can allocate a portion of your pre-tax income to the payment of certain expenses (mortgage, rent, insurances etc.). You can package up to $15,900 of your wages per annum.

So, you pay less tax and you take home more pay!

We all need some assistance from time to time. UPA offers employees and their immediate family members access to a free and confidential counselling service to help manage life’s difficulties.

• LGBTIQ+ inclusivity and diversity
• Cultural Competence

• and much more.

We understand that everyone has a life outside of work, and we aim to be flexible with all our Staff. All shifts you work are based on your identified availability to UPA Sydney Region. This availability can be updated through negotiation with your Manager, to fit your ever-evolving lifestyle.

We will provide you with a free annual flu vaccination to protect you and your family in the winter season. This is usually provided onsite by our local doctors.

At UPA Sydney Region, we value the hard work and ongoing commitment from our Staff. As a way of saying thank you, and to ensure that your personal wellbeing is maintained, we offer a flexible wellbeing program, where Staff can spend up to $200.00 per year and claim this back with their Managers approval.

In the Home Care program, driving between Consumers homes is an essential part of the role. Unlike other providers, we pay you the time it takes to travel between Consumers and reimburse you per KM you travel.
