Accounts Assistant

"Rome wasn't built in a day," they say—well, our protective eyewear business sure wasn't either. From humble beginnings, we began shipping protective eyewear from our bedroom. With support from our amazing community of customers, SafeSyle quickly outgrew our original worksite. Well, that and Dad wanted us out of the house. Fast-forward a few years, and we're growing rapidly and need to put out a call for help.

Our mission has been, and always will be, simple: to provide fashion-forward protective eyewear that anyone can wear from the worksite to the weekend.

With our roots firmly planted in home soil, we collaborate with some of the biggest names in Australia and seek to set a footprint globally. We aspire to give back to the community and put the environment at the forefront of everything we do.
