A MORE RELEVANT CONVERSATION

Find a role that fits more than your CV.

We talk about your skills, interests, availability and preferred locations, then consider how they fit the employers and roles we recruit for.

You get a clear conversation about the opportunity and the recruitment steps. Before introducing your profile to an employer, we discuss the role and the information to be shared with you.

YOUR CAREER PATH

A place for different skills and ambitions.

We work with people taking their first career step and those building on their early experience. Your background, interests and location help us find the right conversation.

  1. Graduates

    Turn university, TAFE or other vocational study into practical experience with a regional employer.

  2. Early-career professionals

    Build on the skills you have and take the next step in a professional, business, technical or digital role.

  3. Trade and practical pathways

    Bring your qualifications and hands-on experience to a role where you can contribute and keep developing.

ACROSS REGIONAL AUSTRALIA

Choose the place as well as the role.

Tell us the towns, regions and states or territories where you want to work. You can stay close to where you live or study, return to your home region, or plan a move to a new community.

We look at what makes a location work for you—your local connections, travel needs, interests and the career you want to build.

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

    We discuss your background, preferences and current availability. If more information is needed, we explain how to provide it.

  3. Explore suitable opportunities

    When a relevant opportunity is available, we discuss the employer and role with you before progressing an introduction.

Hire Australia, operated by The Trustee for PRD Holdings Trust, uses your details to respond, understand your career interests and discuss suitable recruitment opportunities. Required fields help us contact you and understand what you are looking for. We discuss a relevant role and the proposed introduction with you before sharing your profile with an employer. Our team and service providers may process information, including outside Australia as explained in our Privacy & data page. That page covers access, correction and complaints. Please do not submit identity or visa documents through this form. Privacy & data.

INTERNATIONAL GRADUATES

Work-rights questions, handled clearly.

You can introduce yourself if you are an international graduate. We discuss the work-rights requirements relevant to an opportunity. Where migration advice is needed, that is handled through a separate service by an appropriately authorised adviser.

A FEW PRACTICAL QUESTIONS

Good to know.

Is this an application for a specific job?

This form introduces you to Hire Australia. It is not an application for a specific vacancy. We will discuss relevant roles with you when there is a suitable opportunity.

Can I introduce myself before I finish studying?

Yes. Tell us what you are studying or training in, when you expect to finish and the type of work you are looking for. We can then discuss opportunities that fit your availability.

Do I need to upload my CV now?

No. The first form is deliberately short. We can request a CV or further details later through the appropriate channel.

Will my details be sent to employers straight away?

No. We discuss a relevant role and the proposed introduction with you before sharing your profile with an employer.

Can I look for work in another region or state?

Yes. Share your preferred places and timing, including any plans to move or return home. We consider your background and local connections alongside the role requirements.

What happens to my information?

We use your details to respond and assess recruitment opportunities. Our Privacy & data page explains collection, sharing, retention and how to contact us about your information. You can separately choose whether to be contacted about future relevant opportunities.

Is the service only for university graduates?

No. We also work with vocational graduates, early-career professionals and people with trade qualifications or practical experience. Tell us your skills, interests and the kind of work you want to do.
