Product Terms and ConditionsThe following Terms are applicable only where you have purchased any of the products specified below:Job Ads

All job ads are posted on the SEEK website (the Site) for 30 days and can be edited free of charge or, subject to relevant charges, extended.
You shall be obliged to pay the full fee for your job ad, even if you request the withdrawal of your ad at any time (whether before or after it appears on the Site).

SEEK Ad Types

Classic Ads

A Classic Ad is SEEK's standard job ad.
A Classic Ad listing entitles you to a brief description of the position you are advertising and the relevant role title in the search results when your ad is returned within those results.

StandOut Ads

A StandOut Ad listing entitles you to a Classic Ad listing plus the following in the search results when your ad is returned within those results:

up to three bullet points - "selling points";
your logo at the right-hand side of the ad (provided you have submitted an electronic version of your logo for those purposes); and
a border around your ad summary when it appears in the search result (defined as a "StandOut Ad").

You must provide SEEK with the necessary materials and information (outlined above) required to publish the StandOut Ad on the commencement date of the ad. Failure to do so will result in the ad being published as a Classic Ad but you will be charged the StandOut Ad price.
SEEK reserves the right (which will not be unreasonably exercised) to withhold publication of any logo in the search results posted by you if SEEK at its sole discretion believes that the creative design is not a logo or is not appropriate for posting on the Site.
All logos must comply with SEEK's advertising specifications, which will be provided on request.

Premium Ads

A Premium Ad listing entitles you to the features of a Standout Advertisement and increased exposure of your ad as described below.

Premium Ad Performance:

During the period that a Premium Ad is live on the Site SEEK takes various measures to increase the exposure of your Premium Ad with the aim of obtaining on average double the number of applications which would be received for your ad over a 30 day period if it was a StandOut Ad. Such measures may include but are not limited to ads appearing more frequently on the job search results page on the SEEK website and App, in email communications to relevant candidates and on partner sites such as Jora. You acknowledge that the promotion measures employed by SEEK, and the frequency of that promotion are at SEEK's sole discretion.
Whilst Premium Ads receive greater exposure on the Site than other SEEK job ads, SEEK provides no guarantee and makes no representation that a Premium Ad will result in an increase in the number of applications received in response to that Premium Ad, and you acknowledge that application levels are influenced by many factors beyond the control of SEEK.

Premium Ad Pricing:

The cost of the Premium Ad requested by you will be communicated to you by SEEK at the point of posting. Premium Ad prices will vary depending on the details of the role being advertised. You can look up current prices using the link: Premium ad price lookup
The price of a Premium Ad may be amended by SEEK from time to time, and distinguished between different employment classifications and locations, in response to market demand and SEEK's ability to deliver increased exposure of advertisements having regard to then current market conditions.
Once purchased, your Premium Ad can be edited free of charge. If you edit the category and/or location of your ad, you acknowledge that the market conditions (on which our promotion strategy was based) will likely change and that this may affect the number of applicants your ad will receive.

Ad packs

All Ad Packs ("Packs") are valid for 6 months from the date you post the first ad from the Pack or until the total number of ads or dollar value of your Pack has been consumed (whichever is earlier).
Please note that upon expiry of your Pack unless otherwise agreed, any further ads posted on the Site will be billed at SEEK's then standard advertising rates.

Conversion Functionality

If conversion functionality has been enabled for your Pack, subject to the rules for each Pack type in clause 23 below, you will be able to use your Pack to post a variety of different SEEK ad types up to the dollar value specified in your Pack.
The cost to post each ad type will either be listed in your Advertising Agreement or communicated to you by SEEK to you at the time of posting an ad.
The cost of the ad posted will be deducted from your Pack balance. Your Pack balance will be calculated by dollar amount remaining and will be listed in the SEEK Advertiser Centre and available from SEEK Customer Support.
If you have the value of less than 1 full ad remaining in your Pack (i.e. you have a fraction of an ad remaining) as a result of a) utilising conversion functionality or b) consumption of a Premium Pack, you will be able to use this remaining dollar amount towards your next SEEK ad purchase (if made during the life of your pack). Any shortfall when making your next purchase will either a) be deducted from your next Pack, if you have already repurchased another Pack; or b) be invoiced to you separately. If, however, you have not used the full value of your Pack, (including a fraction of an ad) prior to the expiry date of your Pack, any remaining balance will expire.
Subject to SEEK's approval, by contacting SEEK conversion functionality can be switched off (SEEK will never deny a request to turn conversion functionality off).
Your Advertising Agreement will specify whether conversion functionality has been turned on at the commencement of your Pack.

StandOut Upgrade Pack

If you purchase a StandOut Upgrade Pack, you can selectively upgrade Classic Ads to Standout Ads within the corresponding job classifications. A StandOut Upgrade Pack will expire on the earlier to occur of:

6 months from the date the first StandOut Upgrade is utilised; and
The date that the total number of StandOut upgrades you are entitled to under the agreed StandOut Upgrade Pack have been utilised.

Monthly Subscriptions

A Monthly (Job Ad) Subscription commits you to purchasing a minimum number of ads each month ("minimum monthly commitment") over a 12 month period. For the avoidance of doubt, your specified limit per month refers to the total number of job ads that your Subscription allows you to post each month without having to pay additional fees and not the total number of concurrent job ads you may have listed at any one time.
You will be billed on the 15th of each month for your minimum monthly commitment.
Should you post ads in addition to your minimum monthly commitment, you will be charged the Additional Ad rates specified in your Subscription for each ad posted beyond your minimum monthly commitment and will receive an additional invoice on the 1st business day of the following month for any such extra costs incurred.
You may request to increase your minimum monthly commitment by signing a Supplementary Agreement which will take effect from the commencement of the month following that in which the request was made.
