Office & Workplace at Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA)

Dress code fine, offices dull

Pleasant, typical modern office spaces. Different areas for different purposes. Central city location.

Office locations are great - very central and easily accessible by public transport. Facilities are also good - showers, bike racks, lockers, towels, kitchens. Dress code is dress for your day

Lovely office with decent facilities. Free fruit is available for staff as well as biscuits , tea & coffee facilities. There is a dress for your day policy, in Brisbane this means a casual relaxed environment. However, I believe other offices may be more strict.

Brisbane office space is smaller than Sydney but still a good space with good facilities. Dress code is smart casual or dress for your day.

Great location in CBD, large office with great facilities. Dress code is dress for your day business attire.

I believe that APRA actually has a really good office space, here in Sydney (there are other offices in Canberra, Adelaide, Melbourne and Brisbane). It is conveniently found at 1 Martin Place. Great open spaces, toilets and end-of-trip facilities (including showers, towels etc). Within the floors of APRA, there are many Surface Hubs to promote hybrid ways of working, spacious meeting rooms and collaborative spaces, and areas for quiet work. There is also a social space where large social events are run. The dress code at APRA is 'dress for your day' - if meeting with regulated entities, business is expected (e.g. suits, but may not necessarily need a tie). If no external meetings are scheduled, smart casual is the dress code - where 'smart casual' can be just long jeans, sneakers and a t-shirt.

Office is broken up into bookable desks or permanent desks. Though bookable desks means less clutter, personal desk made it easy to leave items behind. However, due to hybrid ways of working, bookable desks makes office hours easier.

There's little for me to benchmark against but the office is in a relatively nice situation and is nice enough. Nothing too flashy but given its a satellite office, I can't particularly complain. Definitely room to grow!
