Great Place to Work has recognised Specsavers as one of Australia’s Best Workplaces for 2025, ranking it fourth in the top 10 of the large business category.
This marks the third consecutive year Specsavers has earned a place on the list. Specsavers said it was a standout achievement that reflected its strong workplace culture and leadership in the retail hearing care sector.
This year’s assessment of confidential employee feedback was also the largest evaluation of workplace culture in Australia’s history.
As a business committed to transforming hearing health across Australia, this recognition reinforced the connection between a thriving workplace and exceptional clinical care, Specsavers said.
“This recognition is a reflection of the culture we’ve built – one that empowers audiology professionals to deliver the highest standard of care,” said Mr Tom Craw, Managing Director – Audiology at Specsavers ANZ.
“When our people feel supported and inspired, it directly impacts the quality of service and outcomes for our customers. A great workplace culture enables us to deliver great hearing care.”
With a growing network of audiology professionals in more than 320 stores nationwide, Specsavers was making hearing care more accessible, affordable, and customer-focused, he said.
Specsavers’ said its people-first approach was embedded in every part of its audiology business – from clinical development and leadership pathways to wellbeing initiatives and inclusive workplace practices.
The company’s investment in its teams was matched by its commitment to innovation, early intervention, and improving hearing health outcomes across the country, it added.
“Being named one of Australia’s Best Workplaces™ for the third-year running is a proud moment for Specsavers,” Craw said.
“It’s helping us attract passionate, values-driven audiology professionals who want to be part of something meaningful. Internally, it’s strengthened our culture and sparked deeper conversations about how we continue to evolve and lead in hearing care.”
Across the Specsavers network, audiology partners and teams have embraced the recognition as a catalyst for connection and engagement, Specsavers said. They were using it to foster open dialogue, build inclusive workplaces, and create a shared sense of purpose in delivering life-changing care.
