Working Hours at Services Australia

Good flexibility

Very flexible

Very flexible, I currently WFH 2 days in the week so I can help take care of my elderly mother. Last week she was unwell so I went home early and continued to work from home on a normal 'office' day, because they understood I wanted to be home for mum.

Good flexibility. Able to choose own hours and build/use flex

In my own position I can work 7.5 hours anytime between 7 am and 7pm. Whilst I have regular set hours (9-5), my team doesn't mind me altering those slightly, just require knowing if I'm running late. I also have the ability to build up flex by working 15-30 minutes extra some days, and then using that extra time to take time off later. However I am, once again, the exception. Most places have very strict start and end times, and service officers are not allowed to build up leave without express permission.

Very flexible when it comes to hours.

Can access WFH arrangements if requested, generally 2-3 days per week but can access more on ad-hoc basis if needed

Depending on what area you work in.

I would like the option to WFH as other colleagues do. I would also like to only work 4 days but as the newest member of my team I have been advised working FT hrs in 4 days as other colleagues do is not an option.

My team is flexible about working from home ad hoc. I work 2 days a week from home and am able to extend that in emergencies or to cater to my carer responsibilities or health problems.

I work my 7.5 hours and I can accrue flex when I want and how I want after having discussed with my manager. I also enjoy working from home two days a week. Occasionally I would say I can do my assigned tasks in less time than I must be at work but overall I am glad I can just do my 7.5 hours with no expectation of any more at my current working level

Usually I work 8-4:30. I am able to take flex and that allows me to take a Friday or Monday or both off every now and again so I can travel home to visit family. My team encourages a great work life balance and is accommodating to all team members situations.

I am able to leave at my agreed work time every day and am not required to stay back. If I am, I accrue flex and am able to use this if needing to attend personal appointments/leave early for other reasons etc. My company is fairly supportive of flexibility as long as reasonable notice is given.

Show up when I want, leave when I want. Anything over 37.5 is coded as flex. Work from home twice a week if I need.

Good flexibility in current role to WFH when needed (regularly 2 days a week WFH)

Work is not as flexible as I would like, making me go into the office where none of my team work 3 days a week

There are as stubborn as possible when it comes to WFH, even tho I have only one other person in my team in my office. Every day when I am in the office, I just think about the time wasted during the commute.

My employer is extremely flexible with my working arrangements.

I enjoy being able to accrue and utilise flex time where possible. The hours are acceptable at 37.5 a week. It would be nice to be able to utilise part-time and/or flexible working arrangements more easily and work from home more often than not.

I'm not too sure how flexible we are because I've never asked to change hours, but I think that I would like to decrease the amount I am working.
