Benefits for employees

We offer a range of benefits and initiatives to ensure you achieve a healthy work-life balance

At Slater and Gordon, we believe the way we work should support the way we live. We recognise that having the time and freedom to pursue your personal goals is just as important as providing the support and resources to develop your full career potential.

We’re proud to provide one of the most flexible and diverse workplaces in the professional services industry. We’re actively involved in our communities and encourage our people to do the same. Above all, we’re committed to helping you find a balance that works — across your career, family commitments and personal life.

There are numerous benefits to working with us. As well as being surrounded by some of the best minds and most passionate people in the legal industry, we offer the following initiatives to all our dedicated team members.

A range of additional leave benefits to suit all circumstances

Shut-down leave

Take time to rest and reconnect over the festive season. Our offices close during the Christmas and New Year period, and all employees receive five additional days of paid leave during this time to properly recharge.

Parental leave

We're a proud leader in paid parental leave. From 1 July 2026, all employees will have access to 26 weeks (130 days) of parental paid leave, with equal access for all parents, regardless of gender, family structure or whether you are the primary or secondary caregiver. And, if you adopt or foster a child, we'll cover you too.

We also pay superannuation on the unpaid parental leave component within the initial 52 weeks of parental leave.

Cultural leave

Employees are entitled to two paid days per year to observe cultural or religious occasions that are meaningful to them. Employees may also choose to work on Christian public holidays and instead take leave for days of greater personal significance.

Reproductive needs and pregnancy loss leave

We understand that reproductive health and pregnancy loss are significant life events that can have a real impact at work and at home. These entitlements are part of our commitment to supporting our people through some of life’s most important and sometimes challenging moments.

From 1 July 2026, all employees will have access to five days paid leave for:

• Fertility and reproductive health needs;

• Miscarriage or stillbirth;

Blood donor's leave

We value the importance of giving back to the community. Employees who donate blood through the Red Cross can take up to two hours of paid leave per donation.

Long service leave

Our long service leave is higher than the minimum legislative entitlement. If you've worked with us for more than 10 years, we offer 13 weeks (65 days) of long service leave. And, in some instances and/or states, we can help you access your long service leave before the 10-year mark (for example, Victoria, where you can pro rata your long service leave at 7 years.)

Benefits to improve your health, wellness and productivity

Study assistance

We provide financial support and study leave for professional development. We believe learning doesn’t stop at university, and we encourage our people to continue building their professional skills.

Employee Assistance Program (EAP)

We understand that challenges can arise at any time. Our EAP service provides free, confidential counselling to support employees through personal or work-related concerns, helping them develop practical strategies and solutions.

Health insurance discounts

Our employees gain access to discounted private health insurance through Medibank. We make it possible to tailor a health insurance package that suits your lifestyle needs and gives you better value for money.

Flu vaccination program

We partner with Chemist Warehouse to offer free annual flu vaccinations. It’s a simple and effective way to protect our people, reduce absences, and support a healthier workplace.

Benefits to encourage you to relax, recharge and balance work with life

Travel booking and discounts

Whether travelling for work or leisure, employees can use our corporate travel platform, CT Connections, to book trips easily while benefiting from time and cost savings.

Retailer discounts

Through partnerships with Flare and JB Hi-Fi, employees can access a wide range of exclusive retail discounts — helping everyday spending go further.

Novated leasing

Take advantage of tax-effective vehicle leasing through convenient payroll deductions. A novated lease allows you to reduce your taxable income while bundling vehicle and running costs into one simple, manageable payment—helping you maximise your take-home pay and stay on the move.

If you are an employee under the Enterprise Agreement, you also have access to:

Wellness reimbursements

Employees can claim one reimbursement per year for eligible wellness-related expenses, supporting activities and services that contribute to overall wellbeing.

Gender affirmation leave

We acknowledge that gender affirmation is a deeply important life event. From 1 July 2026, employees can access five days of paid gender affirmation leave to support them during this time.
