Before you start
You must first create your primary company account. In Workinitiatives, your primary company is also called your Parent Company.
Your Parent Company is created when you sign up to Workinitiatives as an employer.
Once your Parent Company has been created, you can add and manage additional companies from your employer dashboard.
How to create an additional company
1. Go to Manage companies
From your dashboard, select Manage from the left-hand menu.
Then select Manage companies.
This will open the All Company page, where you can view your Parent Company and any additional companies connected to your account.
2. Select Create Company
On the Manage companies page, select + Create Company.
This button is located near the top-right corner of the page.
3. Enter the new company details
A new Add company window will open. Enter the required company details, including:
Field | Description |
Company Name | The name of the company you want to add |
Phone Number | The company or admin contact phone number |
Admin Name | The name of the company admin |
Admin Email | The email address for the company admin |
Australian Business Number | The company’s ABN |
Once all required details have been entered, select Add Company.
You cannot use the same email address that is already used for your Parent Company. Each additional company must use a different admin email address.
If you are using Gmail, you may be able to use the plus sign technique to create a unique email address that still sends emails to your main inbox.
For example:
Emails sent to parentname+childcompany@gmail.com should still arrive in the main parentname@gmail.com inbox.
For more information, refer to Google’s guidance on using variations of your Gmail address.

How to switch company before posting a job
Before posting a job for an additional company, you must switch into that company.
1. Go to Manage companies
From your dashboard, select Manage, then select Manage companies.
2. Select Switch Company
Find the company you want to post a job for.
In the Switch company column, select the Switch Company toggle or button for that company.
3. Confirm the company has switched
After switching company, check that the selected company is now marked as Default.
The Default label confirms that you are currently acting under that company account.
4. Post a job
Once the correct company is selected as Default, select + Post a Job from the top menu.
You can now create and post a job for the selected company.
Troubleshooting
I cannot add a new company
Check that all required fields have been completed, including the company name and admin email address.
You should also confirm that the admin email address is not already being used for your Parent Company or another company account.
I cannot use the same email address for another company
Workinitiatives requires each company admin email address to be unique.
Use a different email address for the additional company. If you use Gmail, you may be able to use the plus sign technique to create a unique email address that still sends emails to your main inbox.
I posted a job under the wrong company
Before creating a job, always check which company is marked as Default.
The company marked as Default is the company that the job will be posted under.
If the wrong company is selected, go to Manage > Manage companies, switch to the correct company, and then post the job again.
