Our Story
The Hatch story started when good friends Adam Jacobs (Ex THE ICONIC Founder) and Chaz Heitner (Ex Zip Co-founder) came together to build something they were deeply passionate about.
Both founders believe that traditional hiring processes are broken and limit people from finding work that’s a good fit for them. Since founding the company, Adam and Chaz have built a team that shares their mission and are both confident they will continue to build an impactful global company for many years to come.

Hatch's hot take
Behind the scenes
Want to join the team? This is what you're in for…
Sustainability
They are a part of 1% for the Planet - They put their money where their mouth is. They’re the only Australian mattress and furniture retailer that supports 1% for the Planet, which means they give away one percent of gross sales annually for the good of the planet, people and animals.
Community
As a brand that is proudly Australian owned and centred on strong Australian influences, Koala want to proactively use their collective resources to support, include, advocate and learn more about First Nations Peoples as a way towards influencing a shared sense of national unity and identity. They've built a reconciliation action plan that reflects this.
Our story (in a gumnut)Picture this: a group of awesome legends who take furniture design to a whole new level! That's us — Koala, baby! We've been shaking up the furniture scene since 2015, and we're just getting started! With our sights set on the world, we're looking for bold and ambitious humans who are ready to take on the challenge with us. We're a fun-loving bunch who work hard and play even harder. And we're all about empowering our people to reach new heights — the sky's not even the limit! So if you're ready to join the Koala squad and make some serious waves, check out our open roles! Koala KultureKoala is only as good as its employees are happy - and they're a happy mob down at the Treehouse. Benefits like casual-Friday every day, a fully stocked kitchen with local and organic produce, Steve Smith's VB stocked fridge, and kombucha on tap. More than just tasty treats, the Treehouse is as pet-friendly as they get, and with flexible working options, lots of social activities as well as free Koala products for employees; the Treehouse is a great place to hang out (and work too)! Modern Slavery StatementWe are committed to improving our practices to combat modern slavery in all its forms by implementing and enforcing effective systems and controls to ensure slavery is not taking place anywhere in our operations, including our supply chains.We continue to support the WWFSince 2015 we’ve donated over $2 million to charities - including our ongoing partnership with WWF-Australia, donating over $3 million since 2017 to help koalas, green sea turtles and glossy black-cockatoos.Recycling mattresses via Soft LandingOver 1.6 million mattresses end up in landfill each year, with only 15% recycled. Cheap mass-produced items may seem like a good short-term fix, but it’s the planet that ends up footing the bill. We've partnered with Soft Landing, a mattress recycling social enterprise, to remove and recycle your old mattress for a reasonable fee.As a social enterprise they recycle as many mattresses as possible and protect the environment by reducing landfill. When we all think long-term and sustainably, we can reverse this trend.
