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 2025 we were named the 4th Best Workplace 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.
