Salary Packaging
As a not-for-profit organisation, CatholicCare Victoria is classified by the Taxation Office as a Public Benevolent Institution.

- Meal and entertainment expenses.

We value the contribution of our employees by supporting training and development. We aim to develop the knowledge, skills and experiences of our employees to better meet the needs of our clients and the strategic goals, purpose and vision of our organisation.

We offer flexible work and leave arrangements to help employees maintain work-life balance. These arrangements can include changes to working hours, flexible start and finish times, accrued days off and purchased leave. Please note that approval of arrangements is dependent on program needs.
Purchased Leave
CatholicCare Victoria recognises the value of flexible working arrangements to enable work/life synergy for employees. Eligible employees have the option of exchanging a pro-rata reduction in their fortnightly salary for the accrual of an additional two or four weeks’ leave per annum. Consideration is given to the operational requirements of the organisation and programs when assessing applications.
Parental Leave
At CatholicCare Victoria we offer 14 weeks fully paid leave that eligible employees may take at full pay or 28 weeks at half pay. This is in addition to any government paid parental leave. Eligible spouses receive up to one week of paid leave on the birth or adoption of their child.
