About Us

Our People

At Maxima, we are dedicated to fostering positive change within the communities in which we operate.

Our people are central to that purpose. With 540 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. We believe in the transformative power of meaningful employment; and we aim to connect all Australians to a better life through work, independence, and self-esteem so that they can participate in society, with integrity.

Our Story

Maxima is a not-for-profit, community-oriented organisation that supports people in their pursuit of meaningful work.

We help people develop the skills and confidence to overcome barriers to employment, creating mutually beneficially outcomes for both jobseekers and employers.

Over our proud 39-year history, Maxima has grown to support 70 communities across Australia with diverse employment and recruitment services. Maxima’s scope includes Disability Employment Services, NDIS Support services, Temporary and Permanent Recruitment, Apprenticeships and Traineeships, and Indigenous Employment Services. Our combined offering is one of the most extensive not-for-profit recruitment, training and employment services in Australia.

We are a proud organisation with a genuine emphasis on an inclusive culture and positive outcomes for customers and the wider community.

Our Mission

Every day, Maxima works towards a better Australia by helping people with their economic participation, community engagement and social inclusion.

We connect Australians to a better life through employment, independence and self-esteem, so that they can participate in society with integrity.

Our Purpose

Landing your first job, changing careers, finding a new team member or securing NDIS support can feel impossible.

You don’t have to do it alone.

We reframe what’s possible for job seekers, NDIS participants 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 not-for-profit 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 quarterly and provides prudent oversight to our business. Four subcommittees exist to oversee Finance, Nominations, Marketing / Communications and Risk Management.
