Office & Workplace at Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, Communications and the Arts

I really love the office I am working out of in canberra, but will actively avoid having to be placed long term with the other offices as I find their spaces to be outdated, not welcoming or inviting and also not as inclusive. I do feel it to be disappointing the limited gender-neutral facilities and zero feminine hygiene products available at the offices.

We have a lot of different offices and I have worked in all of them. I think the more open offices with active office cultures have been good to work in. I do like the balance that our nishi office strikes a good balance between open office space and privacy. The department is also trying to implement things like standing desks which are beneficial for long term health and I found very useful when I had one.

Space, location and facilities are all high quality. The easy approach to dress code definitely makes for a more relaxed environment in general. And if you want to dress to impress, you can do that as well. There is no judgement either way.

The office is centrally located in canberra's cbd, the office space is comfortable and there are various other locations to work within the building away from your desk.

Nishi office is great -awesome facilities. Northbourne is very dated.

Dress code is relaxed and comfortable while professional on a whole. But depending on the line area there are more corporate areas that prefer more professional. The offices are a bit dungeon-like. Only some of the offices have standing desks. The elevators are prone to breaking down. Kitchens are clean but bare minimum - no milk or tea/coffee provided. 3/4 Of the offices are right in the city which is great as there are a ton of options for lunch and it makes it easy to get to.

Location is good. Office itself is a bit outdated, but has all the necessary facilities

A little rundown at northborne

- one office is very good (modern, open spaces with sit-stand desks and kitchens/dining areas, plenty of natural light) - other offices are somewhat more dated (lifts going out of order, very claustrophobic working spaces, no natural light, sit-stand desks are not there by default)

The alinga offices feel 30-40 years out of date and the energy and style feels quite suffocating and limits motivation heavily. The location is very convenient, but the feeling alone makes me not want to work there. Nishi is a lot better as an environment and people dress more casually which is nice to have the option.

The location is very central. However, the facilities are lacking i.E. It equipment. The dress code is business formal.

Again, varies from section to section. My current building would be a 10 easily (great location, facilities, layout), but other offices are conversely quite poor and less enjoyable to work in. Dress code is relaxed formal, I have never felt any pressure to dress more formally than I do usually.

Pretty old, like 80s vibes, the comms office is sleek and trendy though location 10/10 right in canberra city, comms office also close to city comms office has nicer facilities but both have showers/ bike racks/ carparking dress code depends on where you're at but most areas are pretty chill and a tad more on the casual side, which I like.

Very spacious, good location but quite old.

Offices are spacious, if dated. Dress code varies team-to-team. It also depends on what your area actually does. Areas that meet regularly with ministers, for example, wear suits. It wear t-shirts.

Good office space, clean amenities

The nishi building is outstanding. The alinga and nourthbourne offices are older office blocks but are spacious and have ample facilities, plus the cbd location is convenient for most employees. Dress code is normal office wear, with casual dress on fridays for most teams.

It depends what building. The nishi building is new, beautiful, with great it facilities, standing desks as routine, and gorgeous views over lake burley griffin. The civic buildings are old, drab, and lack natural light. However they both have decent kitchen facilities. The dress code in the nishi building is more trendy, individual, vibrant and artsy, with many people dressing down for casual friday. The civic buildings are more "basic" formal wear.
