Company perks and allowances

Laptop allowance

At Airteam, you have two options for your laptop. We can provide you with a device and replace it every three years, or sooner if needed. If you prefer to use your own tech, you can choose an allowance-funded laptop. The allowance is $1,280 per year and is paid pro rata fortnightly with your salary, minus tax. You’ll purchase your own laptop (as long as it meets our minimum specs), you’ll take care of any repairs, and replace it every 3 years. For all the details, see our 🔐 laptop policy.

Communication allowance

All Airteamers automatically receive a monthly internet and communication allowance. You’ll get $100 per month (pre tax), which you can use for your internet and phone expenses. This allowance is paid pro-rata with your salary every fortnight, and you’ll see it listed on your payslip.

WFH allowance

We’ll help you set up a safe and comfortable workspace at home with our work-from-home allowance. To access this, just complete a WFH check as outlined in our 🔐 WFH safety check policy. The allowance is $900 in your first year of employment, and $300 each year after that. Typical items you can buy with this allowance includes:

Monitor

Desk and ergonomic chair

Mouse and keyboard

Ergonomic supports

Cable management, and more

If you’re not sure if something is covered, just ask our Head of Crew and Culture.

Personal development allowance

All permanent crew can access $2,000 and two days each financial year for training. You can use this as part of your Learning and Development plan to set goals, or to pay for a course or other learning materials.

Flu shot allowance

Flu vaccines are usually available from April, but you can get your shot any time of year. In Australia, flu season peaks between July and September, and the vaccine gives the best protection for three to four months. The ideal time to get vaccinated is late May to early June. If you get a flu shot, you can claim up to $25 back. Just keep your receipt and email it to the Head of Crew and Culture and our Payroll Officer for reimbursement.

Parental bonus and support

If you’re welcoming a new child by birth or adoption, here’s the support available to you:

$15,000 Airteam parental support payment (inclusive of all taxes and superannuation). This is available for new parents who have:

- and is for one parent of the child employed at Airteam.

Flexible working arrangements. We’re happy to take requests for ongoing adjustments to your regular hours to accommodate your family's needs.
