From humble beginnings in a garage in Melbourne's east in 1995, we have grown into a leading global digital business, specialising in property.

Where the team fits in The role sits within our Reward and People Operations team, a Centre of Expertise (COE) group within REA Group's People and Culture team.

This role is crucial in fostering a positive and productive work environment while ensuring adherence to legal and ethical standards.

The core objective of the role is to ensure that REA maintains a compliant, safe, and thriving workplace.
Typical activities will include: Develop and implement strategies, policies, and processes to manage employee relations and address workplace issues.
Provide guidance and support on complex employee relations matters, including disciplinary actions, grievances, and conflict resolution.
Ensure P&C practices are in line with Fair Work requirements and best practices.

Lead the workplace relations and compliance activities for any acquisitions, integrations, including working with partners to ensure REA is compliant with local legislation as appropriate.
Lead the preparation of materials for executive and board committees and presentations as required.
Who we're looking for We're looking for a People and Culture practitioner with direct experience in workplace relations and case management, ideally with knowledge of WHS.
We also want someone with a passion for compliance and the ability to communicate this to the business in a brand-aligned, understandable, and meaningful way.
We want you to bring some flair and creativity to REA and support our already great culture to be even better.
Ideally the successful candidate would have:
A degree in Human Resources, Employee Relations or Workplace Relations, or Employment Law.
Extensive experience (typically 8-10 years) in workplace relations, HR management, or legal compliance, with a track record of leadership and strategic oversight.
In-depth knowledge of employment laws, regulations, and best practices.
Exceptional problem-solving, conflict resolution, and negotiation skills.
Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to influence and build relationships across all levels of the organisation.
Proven ability to manage complex projects and drive organizational change in the areas of governance and compliance.
In-depth understanding of Fair Work obligations and employment case law to provide sound advice and capability uplift for the business.
An understanding of the WHS legislative requirements in Australia.
Excellent reporting and analytical skills to monitor the efficacy of the function and support board and committee reporting.
The REA experience The physical, mental, emotional, and financial health of our people is something we'll never stop caring about.
This is a place to learn and grow.
We're committed to your development – both professionally and personally.
Your experience with us is something we take seriously.
We offer: A hybrid and flexible approach to working.
Flexible parental leave offering for primary and secondary carers.
Programs to support mental, emotional, financial and physical health & wellbeing.
Our Because We Care program offers employees volunteering leave, community grants, matched payroll giving, and our Community Café donates 100% of revenue to charity.
Hack Days so you can bring your big ideas to life.
Performance recognition programs because hard work should never go unnoticed.
Our commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion We are committed to providing a working environment that embraces and values diversity, equity, and inclusion.
We believe teams with diverse ideas and experiences are more creative, more effective, and fuel disruptive thinking - be it cultural and ethnic backgrounds, gender identity, disability, age, sexual orientation, or any other identity or lived experience.
We know diverse teams are critical to maintaining our success and driving new business opportunities.
If you've got the skills, dedication, and enthusiasm to learn but don't necessarily meet every single point on the job description, please still get in touch.
