At carsales, we’re all about making buying and selling a great experience. For 25 years we’ve been evolving with the new economy to help people choose how they move today and tomorrow. One of the best things about carsales is that our people get to be a big part of something big. We may be a global ASX100 company, but we’re still small enough for everyone to be heard, work on projects with meaning and make real impact. We are committed to fostering an inclusive work environment where all our people feel valued, respected and have equal access to opportunities. We know that a diverse workforce provides a wide range of perspectives, innovation, engagement and improved operational performance which is what drives our business success. It also means that our workforce will more accurately represent our diverse customer base, which allows us to better anticipate their needs.

Being a Best Practice Breastfeeding Friendly Workplace is a great achievement for carsales as it means we are able to continue to help our people balance the demands of returning to work from parental leave with their role as a parent or carer. This accreditation forms part of our Diversity and Inclusion strategy and is one of several key initiatives that we have implemented. Other family friendly benefits that we offer include:

• Giving our people the autonomy to choose the working location that best suits their personal situation – office, hybrid or anywhere.
• 18 weeks of paid parental leave for primary caregivers.
• Five days of “Leave up Your Sleeve” when a primary caregiver returns to work to help them adjust to balancing their work and home commitments. This leave doesn’t come out of the employee’s annual or sick/carer’s leave balance – it is an additional benefit carsales provides
• Four weeks of paid parental leave for secondary caregivers
• Family & Fertility Planning -this gives people who need to seek medical advice and/or are undergoing egg or embryo freezing, IVF or other recognised fertility treatments five days paid leave.

Further to this, we have also been:

• Great Place to Work® certified for five consecutive years;
• A Workplace Gender Equality Agency (WGEA) Employer of Choice for eight consecutive years; 
• A Family Inclusive Workplace™ through the Family Friendly Workplaces™ program since 2021;
• An Australian Association of Graduate Employers (AAGE) Top Graduate Employer in 2019, 2020 and 2022 and a Top Intern Employer in 2022.
