Please comment on your company's office space, location and facilities. And while we're at it, please tell us a little about the dress code.
It can be as casual or formal as you want. Well air-conditioned and nice amenities.
Intern, Perth
Office space is a desk in a shared room. Dress code is casual.

Coming off lockdowns the office space is relatively empty with many people working from home. However the campus is very large so this may only be an indication of the building which I am in. The dress code is extremely varied with some people wearing full suits and others wearing sports clothes. The safest option would be enclosed shoes, trousers and a long sleeve shirt.

I love the bush vibes of the site, it is very different from the flashy corporate environments where I have worked in the past. The greenery really reminds me of Canberra, where I have lived for the last few years. It seems a lot more green than other places, due to all the trees. There are also a lot of policies around making sure we turn off lights, and trying to reduce our carbon footprint as much as feasibly possible.

The office space is practical, clean and provides all the necessities required to work effectively. The location is easy for travel; I travel via private vehicle and Canberra is convenient for travel in all directions. There is plenty of free parking for staff. All the facilities I need are provided, at my desk space and in the laboratories. The labs share the same corridor as the office spaces and this is a very convenient layout. Our offices are the 'older' building space, but they're still perfectly maintained. If we require additional resources, they are generally accessible in the new (3yo) building across the road from us. These are where we find the PC2 labs and additional equipment. Although a nice looking building, it seems less practical in its set up; the labs are far away from most of the desks. It is easy to work between the two buildings. The dress code is relaxed but practical; jeans and t-shirts for active work in the labs and in the greenhouses and fields. Shoes must be enclosed in adequate material for protection in the lab, and long pants are suggested too. Lab coats are provided regardless, but this additional protection is valuable in the case of a chemical accident.

Great facilities all round. The site has easy parking and is easy to get around. The offices are well furnished, spacious and the canteen is very nice
Intern, Brisbane
Good office and personal space. I have my own desk/cubical. Provided with a laptop, monitor, keyboard, mouse, internet. Good location on the JCU campus - a lot of parking available. Casual dress code as mentioned previously.
Graduate, Townsville
Some spaces are nice. The rest is fairly average with basic furniture and relatively old equipment
Intern, Bribane
Working environment is clean, tidy and fully equipped as far as I know (I'm working remotely). Staff wear black T-shirts and occasionally formal.
Intern, Herston
Its very modern and has lots of places to relax when you're not working
Intern, Newcastle
Dress code is basically anything you want to wear within reason, no flip-flops and try to dress modest. Shorts and a shirt is fine and most people wear that. We dress like engineers. The office space is great but I think some of the Vacation students got ad-hoc cubicles.
Intern, Brisbane
dress code is maybe smart casual, offices and laboratories are up to date with new equipment and labs are state of the art.
Intern, Sydney
The offices are mostly open plan, typically with several desks per room, with barriers in-between, and there is plenty of desk space. The offices are mostly dull colours, typically greys and blues. Most of the work is typically done in labs, which their condition typically depends on the custodian, with some being very messy and disorganised, while others are clean and highly regulated. The site has lots of greenery surrounding it, and is nearby to a bus station. The dress code is long sleeves, long pants, closed shoes and safety glasses for any lab work, as well as any other necessary PPE. for office work, casual wear is fine, although more formal clothes are encourage for external meetings.
Intern, Melbourne
Currently very messy and not really suitable for working in. However, they are moving to Westhead soon and this transition stage makes things harder.
Intern, Sydney
The facilities are incredible. It has been great to see some of the world class technology used. All staff are provided with equipment to ensure they have a ergonomic home work set up too. The dress code is not too formal, some staff wear jeans and sneakers.
Intern, Geelong
Location is great, awesome views. Desks are transition able to standing desks at ease with emphasis of a healthy workplace set up. Dress code is casual, making everyone feel comfortable.
Intern, Hobart
Lots of room. Multiple monitors. Standing desks. Open plan. Water views. Couches. Great kitchens with a chilled water tap. I am very happy with my office.
Intern, Hobart
marine and atmospheric science is very well financed and their offices are world class and freshly renovated. I work in a less glamorous part of the building but it is still fantastic there. the cafeteria is brilliant
Graduate, Hobart
Company's facilities are world class. Dress code is Smart Casual / formal. Closed shoes mandatory in labs!
Intern, Melbourne
The offices are clean and tidy, and the desks are comfortable to work at. The dress code is variable between people in the office, but I am comfortable wearing a T-shirt to work.
