Australian Benefits
Go Further than Ever Before
At Fortescue, you'll be welcomed into a supportive and flexible work culture with plenty of opportunity. We're all about recognising potential and helping you achieve a rewarding career with real impact.
Acknowledgement of Country
Fortescue respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of the land throughout Australia and recognises their deep and enduring connection to Country.
We pay our respects to Elders past and present and extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. We are committed to building meaningful relationships with First Nations communities and learning from their cultural knowledge.
We honour the strength, resilience, and continuing contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in caring for Country for over 65,000 years. Reconciliation is an ongoing journey - one which we are dedicated to walking together.
Financial Rewards
Our team members enjoy competitive benefits, helping you lead a balanced lifestyle both professionally and personally.
Salary Sacrifice & Share Plan
Fortescue's Salary Sacrifice Share Plan allows eligible team members to acquire Fortescue shares through pre-tax income each year, so that you can share in the company's success. We also offer other salary sacrifice options, including superannuation contributions, airport parking, flights and accommodation, personal electronic devices, tools, and novated leasing.
Discounts and Offers
Fortescue partners with a wide range of companies to give team members exclusive discounts on many goods and services. These include savings on hotel stays, car hire, novated leases, and more from more than 400 retailers, including Woolworths, Coles, Rebel Sports, Webjet, and JB Hi-Fi.
First Nations Programs and Pathways
We’re proud to be one of Australia’s largest employers of First Nations people
We offer a range of professional development opportunities for First Nations employees, including our Vocational Training and Employment Centre (VTEC) and the Leadership and Excellence in First Nations People (LEAP) program. These initiatives support First Nations employees with leadership aspirations, providing the tools and resources to succeed.
Support for Families
We understand the importance of balancing work and family commitments. That's why we offer a range of benefits and flexible options to help support you and your loved ones.

Fortescue offers 26 continuous weeks of paid parental leave for primary carers. Secondary carers are encouraged to take two continuous weeks of paid parental leave within the first year following the birth or adoption of their child. If both parents are Fortescue employees, they may take primary and secondary leave at the same time.
Flexible Working Arrangements
We value work-life balance and offer a variety of flexible working options. Team members can choose from formal and informal arrangements, including staggered start and finish times, remote work, part-time, and job share opportunities. We also provide additional flexibility for team members with families during school holiday periods.
