Experience Specsavers
Our cultures and values
Changing lives through better sight and hearing
We’re not just a company; we’re a team of real people united by our purpose, working together to change lives one appointment at a time. Our shared behaviours and values craft a positive culture of belonging, inspiration and mutual respect. We’re always learning and growing together, so we never stop giving our best. The pace may be fast, and at times even challenging, but that’s what makes it so exciting to work here. Every day is different, but one thing stays the same: you’ll always be supported.
Helping people see and hear clearly for 40 years
When our founders Doug and Dame Mary Perkins opened the doors to the first Specsavers store in 1984, they wanted to make glasses accessible to everyone, at the best price.
We’ve spent the past 40 years providing accessible eye and hearing care to people across the globe. We are a truly multi-category business with optics, contact lenses, audiology, ophthalmology and broader eye care services all playing a part in us becoming recognised as a trusted healthcare brand. There is a well-established sense of pride in every single one of our team and our partners, that they are making a difference every day.
A great place to work… for everyone
We’ve been accredited a Great Place to Work® by the global authority on workplace culture for the past six years, and in 2023 and 2024 we were named in the Top 10 Best Workplaces in Australia! It’s a wonderful recognition of the diverse and inclusive culture we have created together – where individuals are respected, valued, and empowered to bring their authentic selves to work. We genuinely care about our people – and it shows.
We believe in possibility
