Corporate Events Coordinator

We are the largest real estate group in Australasia with more than 1000 offices across Australia, New Zealand and Indonesia. Ray White was established in 1902 in regional Queensland and our network sold more than $74 billion worth of property and helped more than 200,000 families and businesses with their property ambitions in the last financial year.

Please don’t be fooled by our size, we are still very much privately family-owned and led by the White family. We are also in the people business, not property. We are only as good as our people and we value our staff. Cultivating a culture in which our members feel safe, connected, motivated and supported is a key focus for us. Our wellbeing program ‘Together’ provides a way in which we can achieve this.

The objective of the Together Wellbeing Program is for Ray White Group to protect, support and promote the mental health and wellbeing of all staff through workplace practices encouraging staff to take responsibility for their own wellbeing whilst also taking care of each other. It’s about building a community (both online and offline) across the entire group of businesses owned by the White family.
