Opportunities to thrive

With its stunning landscapes, Southern Tasmania is a major tourist destination. This industry provides various job opportunities across hotels, restaurants, cafes, tour companies, and cultural attractions. The fertile lands of the Huon Valley, Coal River Valley, and Derwent Valley support a thriving agricultural sector creating opportunities in fruit picking, farming, viticulture, and aquaculture.
