Support for families
At Nine, one of our core values is to ‘Keep it human’. That means acting with empathy and care, and looking after each other. Families are at the centre of our lives and our communities and supporting working parents is key to improving our employee experience.
We know no two parenting journeys are the same, which is why our parental leave policy supports all kinds of families, no matter how they grow.
- 18 weeks paid parental leave: Available from day one for permanent employees, with no distinction between primary and secondary carers.
- Pre-arrival leave & unlimited sick leave: Dedicated leave for IVF, surrogacy, or adoption appointments, plus unlimited pregnancy - related sick leave for birthing parents.
- Preterm birth leave: Extra paid leave for birthing parents if a baby arrives early, provided in addition to the standard 18 weeks.
- Superannuation contributions: Super paid on the first 12 months of parental leave (both paid and unpaid).
Community Involvement
As Australia’s largest locally - owned media company, Nine is committed to its Volunteer Program, delivering support to charities and communities in need.
We turn to our most valuable asset, our people, to take part in volunteering opportunities that open up throughout the year. Our employees are given two volunteer days leave annually to give back to charities and organisations.
What our people are saying
"The People Solutions team volunteered at Bear Cottage, a children’s hospice in Manly, NSW. We spent time making handmade cards and framed artwork to help for the families attending their annual Bear Cottage Christmas Party. Bear Cottage relies on community support and it was an especially rewarding experience for our team to contribute."
Sharon Gilpin
People Solutions Lead
"Seeing senior male leaders openly talk about their families and take parental leave has normalised it for everyone. It’s clear that taking time for family is not just accepted at Nine - it’s fully supported and valued at every level."
David Swan
Technology Editor
"My role at 9Honey of Morning Editor gives me a lot of flexibility in terms of being a parent, with an early start I can be at home in the afternoon to pick up my daughter, take her to the park and spend quality time with her before the dinner / bedtime chaos."
Amy Lyall
Morning Editor, 9 Honey
"Flexible work allows me to juggle personal commitments such as day-care pickups and drop offs. The reduced pressure improves my emotional well-being and allows me to foster a more positive outlook on both my professional and personal life."
