Before Your First Day · We can't wait to meet you!
Everything you need to know before you arrive for your placement. We'll walk you through the rest once you're here.
Finding our office, getting here, and parking nearby.
Level 1, 189 Glenferrie Rd, Malvern VIC 3144 — look for the Opposite office space. Enter through the door, walk up the stairs, and our office is the door to the right. Ginger Tree has left and is now a Tony & Guy Hairdressers.
Parking can be a bit tricky — most spots are limited to 2 hours and inspectors are active in the area. If you're driving, come early to allow time to find a park.
Our dress code is smart casual — suit pants with sneakers are perfectly fine.
There's a small kitchen with a fridge, microwave, kettle and coffee machine in the office — plus plenty of cafes nearby.
With Opposite's location on Glenferrie Road, you'll have lots of food and coffee options right at your doorstep. Some of our team's favourites:

Opposite was created from a simple but powerful idea: if we want genuinely different results, sometimes we may just need to do the exact opposite.
Founded by Dr Nicholas Duck in 2015, Opposite blends expertise in human factors, organisational psychology and human-centred design — with a healthy dose of curiosity, motivation and creative thinking.
We've grown into a team since then. What ties it all together is one belief: the best solutions start by putting humans first. We don't just think outside the box — we ask why the box was there in the first place.
Applying psychology to improve employee and customer experience, and increase attraction, engagement and productivity.
Preparing workplaces and working environments for digital and other technological transformations.
Enabling the potential of people, teams and organisations to achieve their goals through engaging development programs and targeted work system interventions.
Helping to design workplaces, systems and environments to be safe, reliable and productive.
Opposite's team brings together deep expertise in organisational psychology, human factors, clinical psychology and human-centred design. Based in Melbourne, we've been delivering a diverse range of projects for a decade.
