There might be more work opportunities in rural and regional Victoria than you think.

Work for people moving

A big part of considering a move to rural and regional Victoria is to be sure of job security when relocating to your new location.

Like anywhere, job types and availability vary from region to region, city to city, town to town. It’s important to research the different industries, businesses and projects happening in a region, to find the best match for you.

A good place to start is by contacting the local councils in the region you are looking at, who may be able to provide you with some guidance, as well as the usual job advertisements online or in the media.

Locals looking for work

If you are already living in regional Victoria, and either looking for a job change or currently between jobs, your local council is also a good place to start, as well as the usual job advertisements online or in the media. And, as you are already in the regional area, you have the advantage of knowing local businesses you might be able to target for work.
