Office & Workplace at CSIRO

I am based at Black Mountain site in Canberra, ACT. Although this year I have been working from home, I worked at this site for four years. The site is clean, well-managed, and very accessible. The interior is also clean and organised, with regular cleaning. There are a range of facilities, including a daycare and a gym which fosters wellness, and I believe there are a few prayer spaces on site too. The dress code is smart casual at Black Mountain (unless there is a specific event). This looks different for everyone, but I have only ever seen people be appropriately dressed and professional. Those who work in lab spaces wear the appropriate laboratory attire, and those based in the office wear appropriate clothes for the workplace.

Building is 20 years old and is in a new industrial estate in Newcastle. There aren't many hospitality options in the immediate area but this may change as the estate grows. The facilities are satisfactory for use but the cleaning regime could be better.

Location is a little bit out of the way for me personally, but it is pretty central from all corners of SEQ. The only negative is that office spaces seems to have a lot of "stuff", like past projects and old technology and the like. For example in our workspace there are about 5-6 old computers (no longer in use) and as many monitors.

The facilities are very nice and very modern. The buildings are of high quality.

Great facilities and office equipment. Dress code appears flexible - casual to business attire.

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.

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

Company's facilities are world class. Dress code is Smart Casual / formal. Closed shoes mandatory in labs!

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.

Currently very messy and not really suitable for working in. However, they are moving to Westhead soon and this transition stage makes things harder.

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.

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.

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.

dress code is maybe smart casual, offices and laboratories are up to date with new equipment and labs are state of the art.

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.

Some spaces are nice. The rest is fairly average with basic furniture and relatively old equipment

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.

Its very modern and has lots of places to relax when you're not working

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.

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.
