Superannuation and retirement support
Stanwell contributes 12.75 percent of your ordinary earnings to superannuation. This is well above the national minimum and reflects our commitment to your long-term financial wellbeing.
We also cover the cost of your default insurance premiums in Brighter Super. This ensures your retirement savings are not reduced by insurance fees.
If you take unpaid maternity leave, we continue contributing to your super for up to 52 weeks. This benefit supports women and families during key life transitions and helps close the retirement savings gap.
As you approach the later stages of your career, our Transition to Retirement program offers dedicated support to help you navigate this important life stage with confidence. We provide access to resources, workshops, and coaching that focus on wellbeing, career pathways, relationships and flexible work options, ensuring you can continue contributing meaningfully at Stanwell while preparing for the next chapter of your life.
Salary packaging and financial perks
Through our partnership with RemServ, you can salary sacrifice a wide range of expenses. These include:

- Additional super contributions
- Professional memberships
- Self-education expenses
- Bus travel and remote area housing benefits (for eligible locations)
You can also access AutoTender, a free car buying service that helps you secure the best deal on new or used vehicles. This service is typically valued at $149 but is provided at no cost to Stanwell employees.
Leave entitlements that support life
We understand that life outside of work is just as important. That is why we offer a range of leave options to support your wellbeing and personal responsibilities:
- 14 weeks paid parental leave for primary carers
- Paid leave for secondary carers
- Up to 10 days paid reproductive health leave annually
- Purchased leave scheme (buy up to 4 extra weeks per year)

These policies are designed to help you balance work with family, health and personal commitments.

We also recognise service milestones and offer referral bonuses when you help us grow our team.
Our Respect Contact Officers and EDI Committee help ensure that every employee has a voice and access to support. We also provide cultural awareness training and participate in events such as NAIDOC Week and International Women’s Day.
