Training and development

Salary Packaging
One of the benefits of working for a not-for-profit organisation like Baptistcare is the ability to have up to $15,899 of your income made available to you tax-free. This benefit is available to all our permanent staff through our salary packaging provider AccessPay.
Here’s how it works:
- You nominate a portion of your salary to be deducted by our salary packaging provider each payday.
- You can use this tax-free money to pay for an approved range of everyday expenses, such as loan/mortgage payments, grocery, fuel, or even entertainment.
- Income tax will only apply to the amount of your salary that remains after these deductions.
Less income tax means an increase in your take-home salary – more money in your pocket!
