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.
