Whether you’re between roles, looking for a working holiday, or simply keen to spend a few weeks exploring a new part of Australia, we’ll make getting there easy – with your accommodation, return flights and car hire covered for the duration of your contract.

Why Rockhampton?
Love warm sunny days? Join our team and enjoy the best of Central Queensland living, with plenty of sunshine year-round, easy access to the coast, countryside, and outdoor recreation. Make the most of a regional lifestyle where you can spend less time in traffic and more time doing what you love, while building a rewarding career in a welcoming community.

Known as the gateway to Queensland’s beautiful Capricorn Coast, Rockhampton offers the best of both worlds – a relaxed regional lifestyle, easy access to the coast and plenty to see and do when you’re not at work.

Spend your weekends exploring Yeppoon’s beaches and lagoon, taking the ferry from Rosslyn Bay in Yeppoon to Great Keppel Island for swimming, snorkelling and island walks, or heading inland to discover the Capricorn Caves and Byfield National Park. You can enjoy coastal lookouts, local markets, relaxed cafés, sunset drinks, restaurants, bars and breweries – all within easy reach of Rocky.
