look like well and truly exceeding that number. On the very first day, we have received pledges for 124 jobs
across the region! ”
” The community services industry, including aged and disability services, is projected to have the largest
employment growth of any sector in Australia

capable and responsive workforce by raising the profile of jobs and careers in the sector and create
partnerships that support sustainable employment outcomes,” Ms Sloan said.

We have full time, part time and casual roles available, and are keen to explore traineeship and
apprenticeship opportunities so people can earn as they learn, ” Warrigal CEO and Regional Chair for Aged
and Community Services Australia, Mark Sewell, said. “Our staff find the work incredibly rewarding. The
days are filled with variety, and you can be selective with your availability to maintain a healthy work/life
balance or allow time for family or other commitments. ”

with one sector will make y ou an experienced, in -demand employee. You could, for example, use your skills
