## Key points

- Some work is reportedly set to move to India.
- The first changes are expected by mid-2027.

## Summary

Qantas has confirmed that more than 850 corporate jobs will go over the next few years as it redesigns its operations with technology firm Accenture. Some work is reportedly due to be outsourced to India, bringing renewed scrutiny of the airline’s earlier assurance to a union that it had no plan to offshore Australian jobs.

The changes will affect finance, procurement, human resources and marketing, with the first phase expected by mid-2027. Qantas says it will consult staff and unions and seek to redeploy and retrain workers; the partnership is part of its annual $1 billion technology investment. The airline reported underlying pre-tax profit of $2.06 billion for the year to 30 June 2026.
