Understanding Australian Workplace Culture

A friendly introduction to communication, expectations and everyday workplace norms.

What to know

  • Be punctual and communicate early if something changes.
  • Ask questions when instructions are unclear rather than guessing.
  • Professional communication can be friendly and direct at the same time.
  • Respect workplace policies, safety requirements and boundaries.
  • Feedback is often intended to improve the work, not to attack the person.
  • If you experience discrimination, bullying or another serious workplace issue, consider qualified advice.
