Building a sustainable future

Valuing our employees and providing them with a work environment that fosters learning and development, career pathways, flexibility, health and wellbeing is important to us. This is why we have established a wealth of initiatives to support them throughout their career with Ampcontrol. 

• Employee Assistance Program (EAP): Our free and confidential professional counselling support is available to our staff and their family members, providing them with timely mental health assistance for personal or work-related challenges year-round.    

• Health & Wellbeing Support Network: We provide on-the-ground assistance through our dedicated Physical First Aid Responder, Mental Health First Aid Responder and Health and Wellbeing Champion, ensuring the wellbeing of our staff in the workplace.  

• Injury Management & Return to Work: We support early intervention and offer a prompt response to workplace injuries and/or illnesses. We also facilitate returning to work in a timely and safe manner.  

• Employee benefits: We value the wellbeing of our staff and have employed a variety of benefits to ensure they are well-supported, including fitness subsidies, paid parental leave, and other initiatives that promote a healthy lifestyle.   

We have implemented a number of programs that help reduce our waste and use of single-use plastics in the workshop and office. These include: 

• Bin Trim: We signed up to the Bin Trim program in early 2022 to maximise our recycling and minimise our waste to landfill. One of the first steps in our Bin Trim efforts has been the introduction of communal bins—separated into landfill, recycling, paper/cardboard—and desktop mini bins. This will result in a waste reduction of 26,000 plastic bags per year. 

• 2025 National Packaging Targets: We signed up to Australia’s 2025 National Packaging Targets as part of our commitment to introduce more sustainable business practices. This program, managed by the Australian Packaging Covenant Organisation (APCO), is leading the development of a circular economy for packaging within Australia. At our Cameron Park location, we’ve been creating our own hex wrap from recovered cardboard packaging. Hex wrap is a sustainable alternative to bubble wrap, which has allowed us to reduce the amount of unnecessary single-use plastic packaging we use.
