Over 50 Years Of Tech + digital Recruitment.
Since 1973, we’ve evolved with the industry—recruiting for roles that didn’t exist when we started. As the landscape has shifted, we’ve stayed at the forefront: finessing our craft, deepening our expertise, and building relationships that last.
It’s why we’re still the first destination for tech + digital talent in Australia.
​Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Belonging.
Diversity isn’t just a buzzword at Paxus — it’s the core of how we work. We believe the best teams come from a mix of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. That’s why we’re committed to creating an environment where everyone feels respected, valued, and able to succeed.
Our recruitment approach actively supports inclusivity across gender, ethnicity, age, ability, and more — because diverse talent drives better outcomes for people and businesses alike.
paxus’ accessibility statement.
Paxus Australia is committed to ensuring digital accessibility for all users. We are continuously working to improve the user experience and comply with the relevant accessibility standards.
The Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) defines requirements for designers and developers to improve accessibility for people with disabilities. Our website conforms with WCAG 2.2 Level A. However, due to program and integration limitations, there are four areas that do not fully conform: a hidden image in our job adverts that may impact screen-readers, auto-play animated text on our home page, the job search bar markup on the jobs page which may confuse screen readers, and, on Mac OS mobile view, the hidden menu receiving focus in screen readers.
If you experience any difficulties accessing our website because of these issues, please contact our HR Coordinator (details below) to arrange alternative access.
Accessibility feedback.
At Paxus, we are committed to making our website and recruitment processes as accessible as possible. We welcome your feedback on how we can improve accessibility – please reach out to our HR Coordinator (details below) with any suggestions or concerns
We also provide reasonable adjustments throughout our recruitment process to support candidates, including individuals with disability, such as alternate formats for application materials. If you require any assistance or adjustments, please contact:
