At Nine, we are redefining what it means to be a working parent. Central to this change is our parental leave policy that offers 18 weeks of paid leave for both parents, allowing families to equally share the vital early months of a child's life. This commitment is not just about a policy document; it’s about actively nurturing a culture where family balance and shared responsibility are the norm, not the exception.

As the world of live sports demands ever more spectacular and immersive viewing experiences, Nine is pushing the boundaries of what's possible. Leading the charge is our pioneering drone program, now soaring to new levels of innovative coverage. We sat down with Shaun Wellfare, Senior Production Camera Operator and one of Nine’s senior drone pilots, to understand how this technology is enhancing the art of live sports coverage.

At Nine, we’re committed to making working life more rewarding for our people. Our ‘Employee Exclusives’ program is a way of getting closer to our incredible brands, offering unique experiences, behind-the-scenes access, and awesome perks.

We sat down with Senior Producer at Wide World of Sports Nick Dalton-Bocquet to hear his insights into working across the Australian Open.

At Nine, we believe that the richness of our workplace is found in the diverse cultures, traditions, and stories of our people. Nothing brings those elements together quite like shared food. The vibrant work of our Cultural Diversity Employee Resource Group (ERG) culminates in the third annual release of The Share Table, a cookbook that is far more than a collection of recipes—it’s a tangible celebration of community.

At Nine, we're not just a collection of successful media brands—we're a community where careers thrive. We know that some of our best talent is already walking our halls (or logging in remotely), and that’s why internal mobility plays a role in our people strategy.
