Who are we?
NEXTDC is an exciting ASX 100-listed technology company, building the highest quality digital infrastructure in the country. Our solutions are built on unrivalled technical excellence but it’s our people who are our secret weapons in our success.
We respect, value and acknowledge every person and our focus is ensuring our team have the support they need to learn, develop and grow beyond their wildest dreams.
Size matters, and in our business it couldn’t be more true. We’re small enough that everyone can make a meaningful impact, and big enough to make a difference in the global stage.
Our culture embodies a diverse range of skills, experiences and perspectives. We play to our strengths, complement each others capabilities, celebrate each other, and champion bright ideas.
Our Values
At NEXTDC, our values are our core belief. Our goal as a company is to have every one of our people living every one of our values, every single day, striving to ensure all of our actions align with the behaviours which our values embody.
Our six values are not just words on a page, they’re embedded in our DNA. We know what is expected of us every day, we know what we stand for and what we are striving to achieve.
- Customer first: We are obsessed with delivering the world’s best customer-experience.
- One team: We are an elite team, working together with super stars in every position.
- Bright ideas: The best way to predict the future is to create it.
- Pursuit of excellence: We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence.
- Straight talk: We don’t talk bull, we have crucial conversations, we disagree and then we commit.
- Frugal not cheap: We spend our money where it matters the most.
Diversity, equity and inclusion
We believe opportunity is for everyone. Our people have taken all kinds of paths to get here and we leverage diversity in everything we do. We want people of all backgrounds to truly be themselves at work, so they are more engaged and inspired to create and innovate.
We’re working to achieve a gender-balanced workforce by 2030, meaning 40% women, 40% men and 20% flexible to recognise our non-binary people. At NEXTDC, you can be who you are.
- We are committed to supporting parents, including 20 weeks of parental leave for primary caregivers of all gender identities, breastfeeding facilities in most of our workplaces, and flexible return to work options. This extends to parents who are tragically impacted by stillbirth or newborn death.
- Flexible working arrangements, including remote work. The majority of our people are able to work remotely or flex their start/finish times in order to accommodate personal and family priorities.
- We work with external partners, Executive Central and Women Rising, to provide professional development for experienced and emerging female leaders, giving them the confidence and critical skills to lead and influence.
The Way We Work
Work is something we do, not somewhere we go.
At NEXTDC we recognise there is no one-size-fits-all solution to the way we work, what matters most is being able to work productively, safely and in a way that aligns with our values. We want to provide you with the flexibility to contribute when and where you do your best work. For most of us, that will be defined by the nature of your specific role.
Our approach is designed to recognise and support the diverse people, work activities, priorities and projects that drive our success. Whether you are in a critical role where you need to work within our facilities, or you predominately work remotely, we do meaningful work as One Team that helps shape the future of NEXTDC.
Community Engagement
At NEXTDC, we believe companies can do more than just make money, they can give back to the community and use their success to improve society.
Through our corporate social responsibility program, Live to Give, we aim to embed the concept of giving back into our DNA, and empower our people with a sense of pride by realising that together we can and will make a difference in the communities in which we live and work.
Live to Give has three pillars:

Key Charity Partners
We have two key partnerships that are focused on embracing the power of education and investing in the digital futures of disadvantaged young people.
- Our partnership with SolarBuddy supports their vision to gift six million solar lights to children globally who are living in energy poverty by 2030, helping them to study after dusk and improve their education outcomes.
- Our partnership with The Smith Family supports their Learning for Life scholarship program, which provides early intervention and balanced, long-term support to over 38,000 students across Australia.

Volunteer Days
We are a proud to take part in the Pledge 1% global movement whereby we have committed to enabling and empowering our people to be able to devote 1% of their time to giving back to our community.
All our people are entitled to 3 paid days per year to volunteer for a charity of your choice or volunteer for your local community (e.g. clean up days, children's tuckshop or sports carnival). Team members who wish to participate in skilled volunteering opportunities are eligible for an additional 2 paid days per year.

Workplace Giving
Our workplace giving program allows our employees to make a positive impact to our community, by providing a simple and tax effective way to give to the causes they care about. NEXTDC matches these donations dollar-for-dollar up to $10,000 per year. Our valued workplace giving partners are: SolarBuddy, The Smith Family, Cancer Council, Beyond Blue, UNWomen and Australian Red Cross.
