Qantas is reportedly considering moving some roles offshore to India as part of talks with consulting firm Accenture. Multiple outlets say the discussions relate to outsourcing and involve shifting back-office functions rather than frontline operational roles. The reported job areas include marketing, finance and human resources, along with other support positions.
The reports characterise the potential changes as affecting up to around 1,000 jobs, and they describe the proposal as part of a broader outsourcing arrangement being explored through Accenture. One outlet also describes the scope as “hundreds” of jobs that could be moved offshore, reflecting uncertainty around the final number.
Across the coverage, the central points are that Qantas has been in discussions with Accenture, and that these talks could lead to outsourcing of selected business support work to India. The articles do not provide confirmed details on timing, the final structure of any deal, or whether affected staff would be offered relocation or other employment options. The reports therefore describe consideration and negotiations rather than a completed decision.
