From Atlassian and Canva to Salesforce, here’s the 50 best places to work in Australia

The title of being one of Australia’s best places to work has again been claimed by a number of fast-growing technology companies, with the likes of Atlassian, Canva and Salesforce featuring in this year’s list of the 50 great workplaces compiled by Great Place to Work Australia.

The 11th annual study was dominated by local and international tech companies, with the average age of companies on this year’s list being 48 years old. Of those companies, 75% of their workers are full-time, with average non-management salaries of $94,000.

At the top of the list for companies with over 1,000 employees is international marketing software company Salesforce and home-grown success story Atlassian. Both companies were in the top three for companies with 100-999 employees last year, showing their consistency as good places to work.

“At Salesforce we believe a strong culture lays the foundation for a strong business.
