Tennis Australia

While the work itself can be incredibly fulfilling, there's a constant undercurrent that whispers, "Are you working on the Open?" If your role isn't directly tied to the Australian Open, it can feel like your responsibilities are on the back burner. Meetings get rescheduled for Open prep and deadlines shift to accommodate Open priorities.

It's not all sunshine and missed deadlines, though. The perks are decent, with free tickets to concerts and access to world-class tennis facilities. The gym is top-notch, and the surrounding area boasts stunning parks and sporting grounds. It's a great place to be if you're passionate about health and fitness.

Ultimately, whether you thrive or merely survive at TA depends on your priorities. If you live and breathe tennis, particularly the Open, then the buzz and excitement can be intoxicating. But if you're looking for a company where your contribution feels valued year-round, regardless of the calendar, you might want to keep searching.

In a nutshell, it's a company with undeniable highs and frustrating lows. It's a place where your passion for tennis can be a rocket fuel, but also, where your role can feel secondary to the grand slam. So, if you're considering a job here, weigh your love for the sport against your need for consistent, year-round recognition and engagement.


My time working for Tennis Australia on the Australian Open, really opened my eyes to seeing that educating kids on a great sport, and one that I had been playing since 2005.

A typical day for me was getting to the Australian Open through Public Transport, being informed about the rostered routine for the day, and setting up the activities. 
Also, it was ensuring that all the families that entered the Ballpark, enjoyed their time and left feeling lucky that I was able to inspire the next generation to continue with tennis.

Even though it was a volunteer position, TA went over and above to ensure that we all obtained a meal allowance each day, tickets to exclusive staff seats to tennis matches and finally, staff access to the best tournament for tennis in the world.

A typical day involves a morning and evening debrief so you are aware of the events going on. Once that is finished, you are out on site dealing with customers. I've learnt a great deal about customer service and customer experience roles. The management are great people who look after you and your needs. The hardest part of the job is dealing with any potential conflicts that occur, however the most enjoyable part of the job is the experience of working at a Major Sporting Event

Great team to work with. Very high paced most times. Positive atmosphere. Meeting so many new people who become like a family for the next few weeks. Uniforms are supplied by a sponsor but be prepared to bring and carry a winter coat and long pants with you as these are not supplied plus also bring a poncho/
raincoat/umbrella and sunglasses as these are not supplied. 

When I begin at Tennis Australia I was unsure what to expect but the personal were a tight bunch and were very inclusive, being on the IT support desk you speak to many people who run the company and overall I was quite surprised how pleasant everyone was. 

I was always paid on time and was always taken care of. Was a great starting workplace! Didn't meet my needs for the next step for my career in the IT industry

Most people are very nice; Flexibility depending on manager; Facilities are nice; Tickets to events are sometimes available for free to staff; Lots of manual processes and last minute requirements; No top down support to update systems and technology..

•	Assisted many Australian Open members with their computer problems, responding to inquiries and handling telephone requests
•	Helped fix and maintain hardware and devices
•	Installed new equipment to be implemented within the business
•	Demonstrated a strong sense of working well under pressure during the Australian

My tipical day when I enjoy the most is when I teach other kids tennis.
They make me positive and happy every minute spending on court.
My hole life I wonted to help people to learn tennis in easier way because tennis is complicated sport which include all parts of you body at the highest level.

My favorite job and operations. Enjoyed it immensely. People were positive and progressive. Atmosphere was a buzz. Shame not enough fulltime roles. Only seasonal. Would highly recommend working in the organisation full or part time in any role that becomes available. DEREK

dealing with a great deal of stakeholders and working across community activities to commercial operations

Some long hours and often dealing with tricky stakeholders but many passionate people working in the organisation make it a great place to work.
