EMPLOYMENT
SERVICES
The ACT currently has the highest workforce participation rate around 75% (nationally it's 65%) with a high female participation rate as well. This is a good indication of the opportunities for employment in the ACT especially as employers struggle to fill positions in what is, essentially, a time of full employment. So if you’re in a service or semi-professional industry, get in touch.
There are jobs in the science and technical fields, including for laboratory officers and technicians. The arts, entertainment, and sports and recreation fields also have plenty of unfilled vacancies with demand for arts administrators and community recreation workers. There are plenty of opportunities in the business and clerical fields, including a requirement for e-business workers.
TESTIMONIAL
Jaki Rayolds - Bus Operator
"I've been all around Australia and I've settled here"
I wanted a clean, safe environment for my children to live and learn in. In Canberra, there are great choices in education. It's a choice I'll never regret - my kids love it and I have peace of mind about my family. It's not as violent as much of Australia and not as hot - I can handle the Canberra weather.
There are great job opportunities here, with happy people and happy workers. People are friendly; they're genuine, upfront, helpful and tolerant towards others.
Canberra is central to many places. I wanted a bit of everything - bush, snow, coast and tablelands. I do like it here - Canberra has been good to me.
