Working in Tasmania

Tasmania offers a range of business and employment opportunities for skilled and business migrants.  Tasmanian employees gain qualifications and experience that is often much broader than in more populated areas.  This means that people wanting more responsibility and influence can often fast-track their career prospects.

Tasmania currently has a demand for skills in many different areas including health care, education, agriculture, energy, fisheries, information and communication technology forestry and timber, Antarctic and Southern Ocean research, infrastructure, marine manufacture, minerals and mining, tourism, and services and retail.  

Tasmania’s three major newspapers feature employment sections: The Mercury (southern Tasmania), The Examiner (northern Tasmania), and The Advocate (north-western Tasmania). 

Most vacancies advertised in The Mercury are advertised at CareerOne.  The vacancies advertised in The Examiner and The Advocate are advertised on MyCareer.
