Tanda co-founder

Josh Cameron and Tanda

Cameron co-founded the Brisbane workforce software company Tanda in 2012 with three QUT classmates.

Josh Cameron is one of four co-founders of Tanda, the Brisbane workforce management company founded in 2012. The others are Jake Phillpot, Alex Ghiculescu and Tasmin Trezise. All four studied at Queensland University of Technology.

Tanda began as software that calculated Modern Award wages automatically. The idea came from the pain of processing staff timesheets by hand. Three of the founders were executive officers of the QUT Student Guild.

In 2014 the team won the qutbluebox Innovation Challenge and its A$60,000 first prize. Tanda later added rostering, payroll and HR tools to its Modern Award engine. Domino's selected it for workforce management.

The company stayed self-funded for 14 years. In September 2026 it took a growth investment led by Thoma Bravo, on a base of about 8,000 business customers.
