Spotlight on Hybrid
We value meaningful connections and recognise that people work best in different ways. Our hybrid model offers flexibility to work in a way that suits you, balanced with essential in-person interactions. It’s not about being in the office 0 or 5 days, but finding the right balance. We trust our people to decide how, where, and when they work, supported by a framework for equity and guided by five principles. This approach allows teams to create effective working rhythms and adapt as needed.
Our people stories
FLEX FOR
TIME
SHANNON RILEY
Flex for Time is a big one for me, with rostering flexibility it gives me a little
more time for 'life'. Working from home can be challenging and a little isolating at
times. Without being confined to a standard '9-5 desk' I can fit in a little more me
time, sometimes it's an earlier start and finish so I can go for a long walk before
the sun goes down or a later start and finish so I can make a morning Pilate class.
My mum stays with me 2 nights a week and this flexibility means I can drop her at
work, or we can go for coffee and my work will still be there waiting for me when I
start.
My role and leader enable me to flex and thrive with a mix of WFH and in the office, all on a time schedule that suits me and the business.
FLEX FOR
PLACE
MIA VON KLEIN
After growing up in Sydney, living there my whole life and the two long years of COVID lockdowns, I was seeking to switch up my surroundings and was particularly keen to explore a new city to live in. Fast forward and here I am in the Sunshine State, living, working and thriving in Brisbane.
I've always loved QLD and am looking forward to a new and exciting chapter in my life and the new experiences and friendships I will build here.
Relocating to a new location and having the balance of remote working and being able to go into a new office has re-energised me. I've already noticed the massive impact it's had on my wellbeing, happiness, and productivity.
It motivated me to get out and about more and I've been able to meet and connect with other QLD-based colleagues who I haven't met before.
FLEX FOR
FAMILY
HONI LAAN
Flexibility doesn't just affect the employee. My Flex for Family story is allowing me to spend a week working from home in Tassie to support my dad with his last round of Chemo.
Flexibility like that is priceless.
FLEX FOR
TIME
IAN LILLEY
As a dad of two young kids, hybrid working has been invaluable to me over the past couple of years. Being able to work from home has allowed me to spend so much more time with my family during the week and means that I can walk my three-year-old to and from day-care (the highlight of my day).
When else would I get the chance to learn about every single character in the Thomas the Tank Engine universe, or help him answer life's biggest questions (Where is that airplane going? Who's that guy? Where are all the garbage trucks?).
Eliminating my commute on those days means that I can spend that time with my family without worrying about how I'll find the time to get everything done that I need to at work. Having the ability to design a Hybrid working approach that combines from home and in the office is perfect for me at this stage of my life, allowing me to effectively balance work, family, and everything else important in my life.

LEARN
HARRISON GAUCI
The hybrid working environment at TPG Telecom has enabled me to work full-time as well as study part-time.
The ability to work from home allows me to use the time that would normally be allocated for commuting to study and complete work for my degree.
This allows me to study as efficiently as possible, enabling success in both my academic and professional career. I was also given the opportunity to attend professional development sessions led by our partners during work hours which further enables my skillset.
FLEX FOR
FAMILY
JAMES WORRALL
Flex for Family was absolutely HUGE for me! I recently took parental leave and was able to spend the most amazing time with my daughter. When I started my leave, she wasn't even rolling over, by the time I finished she was almost walking! #MindBlowing. Being able to be with her while she developed was so special.
I was lucky enough to be able to take her to swimming lessons and baby sensory classes each week as well as our daily walks and LOTS of playtimes.
Building the closest possible bond with my daughter is the most important thing in my life and being able to spend this time with her is such a great foundation for that relationship.

GOOD
COURTNEY JESSOP, LIZ DICKINSON,
CARLEE ORD, BERNADETTE ALMEIDA
We recently used our Charity Leave (thanks TPG Telecom!) and spent the day volunteering at the RSPCA Australia. It was an amazing opportunity to get a behind the scenes insight into the wonderful work the RSPCA do.
We had a busy day full of animal welfare education, cleaning, working in the stockroom sorting and organising donated goods and the best part – walking some very cute puppies! Not only was it a great way to give back to those in our community but also a great way to connect with the team outside of a busy work day.
Such a great day!

FAMILY
HARRY SANSBURY
Living in Nelson Bay but commuting to the Sydney office once a week could have posed logistical challenges, but TPG Telecom's flexibility migrates this.
Due to this level of flexibility, I get to spend a considerable amount of time with my son throughout the week. Rather than missing all the new things he's doing, I get to witness it firsthand. It's a breath of fresh air to work for a business that puts their employees at the heart of their values.
