• A genuine commitment to work / life balance
• Generous leave entitlements
• Salary packaging options
• Ongoing development through on the job training and learning opportunities, including access to external professional development and training.

OARS CT is a very purpose driven organisation and, along with all the benefits mentioned above, staff have the opportunity to engage with this purpose in the knowledge that they are doing more than just a job. Staff at OARS CT are always contributing to our vision of ‘strong communities with positive social connections underpinned by restorative justice practices’.

The Board and Executive Management have developed a Culture Statement that describes the culture we aspire to at OARS CT.  You can download this Culture Statement here.

It has come to our attention that some individuals may have misrepresented themselves to be OARS CT managers in the past and have potentially provided references that are false and/or misleading.

Please be advised that only the CEO and the OARS CT Executive team are authorised to provide references for both existing and previous employees on behalf of OARS CT.

If you are seeking a reference for a current or former OARS CT employee, or if you have employed an individual as a result of a reference received from OARS CT and have any concerns in relation to the validity of that reference, then please contact Human Resources on 8249 0700 to discuss this, any reference requests or references provided that you wish to confirm can be emailed via recruitment@communitytransitions.com.au for consideration and response.
