Claire Ripley
Senior Manager, Strategic Initiatives
At Standards Australia, our work reaches every corner of the Australian economy and focuses on preparing Australia for the future. We have the opportunity to make a real impact - that's what I love about my job, along with the chance to collaborate with a broad network of experts.

Ash Dey
IT Infrastructure and DevOps Lead
Before joining Standards Australia, I had little understanding of the role that standards play in improving safety and quality of life for everyone. Coming from an organisation focused on protecting communities from bushfires, I was proud of my work. But at Standards Australia, the impact is much broader, and I feel even prouder to be part of it. The Weekly Heads Up Stand Up meetings reflect the organisation's culture of communication and care for people. I feel blessed and lucky to receive unparalleled support from my team and management. Plus, the nine-day fortnight working benefit allows for a nice work-life balance.

Being part of this company has provided me the opportunity to sharpen my skills and explore new arenas of my personality - both strengths and weaknesses - I never knew existed. The organisation is heavily employee-centric and focuses on our well-being both personally and professionally. While professional development is encouraged through various trainings and assignments, it also has employee-friendly policies that positively impact us on a personal level.
