The Story
- Reported August 2026A former Cubic employee told Offshore Watch that dozens of staff have been made redundant from the Brisbane office and replaced by employees in the company's Hyderabad office, with the work itself still needing to be done. The tipster did not have exact numbers, so no job-loss figure is recorded here. They also noted that Cubic holds a Sydney contract whose commercial terms require all employees to be based in Australia. Cubic Transportation Systems is a US-headquartered fare-collection and transport technology vendor supplying Australian public transport ticketing; it is not ASX-listed but is tracked here as an Australian offshoring case.

- November 2025Trade publication Mobility Payments reported growing talk of layoffs at Cubic Transportation Systems, naming the offshoring of software development to India as believed responsible for at least some of the cuts. A Cubic spokesman would say only that the company is "implementing a new operating model", releasing no further detail. The publication noted it was unclear how many employees would lose their jobs.

This list is not complete, and never will be
If a company isn't listed here, that doesn't mean it doesn't offshore. And every number is the lowest we can prove, so the real figures can often be higher.

This list is not complete, and never will be
If a company isn't listed here, that doesn't mean it doesn't offshore. And every number is the lowest we can prove, so the real figures can often be higher.
This started as an ASX 200 project and mostly still is. It has widened as stories landed from outside that list, so it now also covers employers that aren't ASX-listed, like Canva, Allianz Australia, SS&C and Crown Resorts, along with government departments and agencies. Companies get added when something surfaces about them, not by working through a list in order.
Australian companies are under no obligation to disclose where their work is done, and there is no register of offshored jobs. Everything here comes from something that surfaced publicly: an annual report, a modern slavery statement, a news article, a union statement, a government contract, or a tip from someone who was there.
So an absence usually means nobody has reported on that company and we haven't got to it yet, not that it keeps its work onshore. Some of the biggest offshorers say nothing at all. And because each figure counts only what a source actually stated, the real numbers can often run higher, sometimes much higher.
Every figure links to the source it came from, so you can judge it yourself rather than take our word for it. If you know something that is missing or wrong, tell us. Corrections are published, not quietly buried.
