RACQ— More than meets the eye!

While RACQ is a household name and synonymous with a trusted old friend you can always rely on, you may be surprised by the exciting and diverse opportunities RACQ can bring into your career trajectory!

Committed to Giving Back

As a business that consistently makes a difference to its members by delivering security and prosperity during its evolution over 115 years, RACQ is the epitome of a true-blue household name in QLD. Being owned by its members, enables them to give back to their communities during even the most challenging of times. As well as advocate for members on the issues that really matter, they help lower the cost of living with significant discounts. Last financial year alone saw RACQ distribute $2.1 million funding for SEQ flooding disaster projects, donate $21,207 to 41 local clubs and community groups, and educate 52,258 students on road safety and financial wellbeing. Plus, with members benefits a-plenty, this is a company that closes the loop on where your hard-earned Aussie dollar goes for their loyal customer base. Paying your car or home insurance is a little easier when you understand just how far it goes in terms of social responsibility.

Helping Homeowners Dreams Come True

And it doesn’t stop there. Their impact grows as the business continues to diversify with new avenues to help Queenslanders beyond the iconic solutions that they are so well known for. Recently announcing their launch into the broker market, RACQ pledge to help more Queenslander’s fulfil their dreams of becoming homeowners by expanding into broking with new aggregator partners Astute and Specialist Finance Group.

“We know brokers play an important role in helping many Queenslanders on their home buying journey – particularly in a rising interest rate environment. The launch of our broker channel, designed to complement our existing mobile lending and growing digital offering, will give our members more choice and flexibility when it comes to applying for a mortgage.”

Embracing Digital for the Best Success

This expansion includes the implementation of a new e-lodgement platform through technology partner, and female-founded, Simpology.  This system delivers a seamless digital application experience for brokers including integrated third-party services such as digital consent, electronic statement collection, Digital ID (OCR Labs) and DocuSign. Furthermore, by leaning into tech powered solutions they have been able to support their customers by providing impressive turnaround times, with time to ‘yes’ for home lending at seven days (conditionally approved within 48 hours).

This development, along with other bold business moves such as the “Our Fair Dinkum Home Loan” and offering extended home loans for younger buyers, prove RACQ bank are forward thinkers and offer innovative solutions to help Queenslanders reach their property aspirations.

Exciting Opportunity for Women in Tech

The rise of digital solutions has already brought significant changes to the world of work, and it is likely that this trend will continue with the resulting benefits for the business, and the RACQ members. By embracing digital solutions, the business continues their focus on innovation and builds on their existing workplace culture of continuous improvement. All of this makes RACQ an exciting place to be, with many diverse and rewarding roles on offer.

With their focus on gender diversity, this may open more opportunity for women in tech, along with opportunities in their many other business areas. RACQ strive to achieve gender equality in their organisation. They actively report on annual gender pay gap analysis, work hard to maintain a gender balance amongst leaders, set gender targets for under-represented business areas, look to evolve offerings for parents and carers and finally consistently review WGEA standards for ways to improve practices. All of this along with a focus on four further streams for diversity and inclusion including Cultural inclusion, First Nations inclusion, LGBTQIA+ inclusion and Disability inclusion.

All this, with Flexibility?
