Our people are central to that purpose. With 463 staff (and counting), we are a passionate team committed to creating a meaningful impact and a purpose beyond profit.
Our team is driven by a shared mission to enhance the lives of individuals facing challenges, valuing diversity and inclusivity every step of the way.

Our Manifesto
Landing your first job, changing careers, finding a new team member can feel impossible.
You don’t have to do it alone.
We reframe what’s possible for job seekers, and employers by providing new opportunities and challenging stereotypes. We build our services around what you need, your goals and your strengths.
Let Maxima help you reframe what’s possible.
Maxima Board & Executive Team
As a national, for-purpose organisation, Maxima’s purpose is to provide benefits to the community rather than generate profits. However, Maxima is operated on commercial lines, with surplus funds re-invested in the organisation’s activities to provide maximum benefit to the community.
The Maxima Board meets regularly and provides prudent oversight to our business, supported by the Finance, Audit and Compliance Committee, the Risk and Governance Committee (including the Remuneration and Nominations Committee), and the People and Culture Committee.
