Drysdale River Station reduced services

Yes my older employees are great. The jobs I have remaining are mostly hard backbreaking work making beds & cleaning. I'm old and I couldn't do that work anymore so wouldn't expect others in my age group to be able to do for long at all. Fill in days yes perhaps, full time no.
Also desperate for anyone who can cook well to give chef the day off.
We have been forced closed for last 18 months, due to the covid lockdown of remote communities our road was closed for all that time. Now we have more bookings than I have EVER seen before and we can't do them. Sickening !!!
All of Northern Aust is desperate for staff, there should be no fit person in Aust needing to be on jobseeker. If not fit enough to work then should be on a different benefit. As you say it's not only the tourism sector that has been hit. So what I want to know is why do we still have any unemployment figure at all with so many jobs available. cheers, Anne

It’s not just a Northern Australia thing....a relative on the Gold Coast and a friends daughter in Brisbane have both mentioned they are severely lacking staff in the hospitality trade.

yep sadly Australia runs on backpackers while we support Aussies who don't wanna work ie fruit picking get rid of the dole

Hi John,
No doesn't apply here, we supply on site accommodation rooms and all meals at half the award set rate.
As the nearest town with alternate accommodation is 360 km away, no other option is possible !
Think it makes difference in ie: Broome where much of wage probably does has to go to accom costs.
cheers, Anne
