Finding your dream job and lifestyle in regional Australia has just become easier thanks to a new partnership designed to connect job seekers directly with thousands of career opportunities outside the major cities.
The Regional Australia Institute (RAI) has announced a strategic partnership between its Move to More online portal and leading regional employment platformViewJobs.
Replacing Seek as the official jobs partner of Move to More, ViewJobs will powermovetomore.com.au's job search function, connecting job seekers around the country to regional roles and helping regional businesses tap into a broader talent pool of potential workers.
The Regional Australia Institute's Move to More online portal has partnered with leading regional employment platform ViewJobs.
RAI chief executive Liz Ritchie said the collaboration was a natural fit that would help address the recruitment challenges faced by employers in the regions and unlock new growth opportunities for local communities.
The integration of ViewJobs intothe Move to More platformstrengthens its core offering: helping people not only dream about regional life, but act on it, Ms Ritchie said.
Regional employers are crying out for skilled workers, and we know that jobs are one of the biggest drivers for relocation. By teaming up with ViewJobs, we're making it easier for people to discover meaningful careers in regional communities and easier for employers to find the talent they need to thrive.
Move to More encourages people in the major cities to explore regional living and helps them picture a new lifestyle, with its career and cost-of-living benefits.
ViewJobsfounder Lewis Romano said the goal was to create a smarter, more connected recruitment ecosystem that truly works for regional Australia.
ViewJobs was purpose-built to be the home of regional jobs, and in just 18 months we've seen incredible momentum, he said. This partnership with RAI, through Move to More, gives us the opportunity to take that impact even further.
Launched in March 2024,ViewJobs now reaches more than 5 million Australians a month in partnership with the regional news network of ACM, publisher of this masthead.
By teaming up with ViewJobs, we're making it easier for people to discover meaningful careers in regional communities and easier for employers to find the talent they need to thrive, Regional Australia Insitute CEO Liz Ritchie said.
Recruitment difficulty is one of the most pressing barriers to regional growth, she said. By connecting employers with talent and showcasing career pathways, ViewJobs and Move to More are helping to unlock the full potential of regional communities.
A progress report on the 25 targets set out in RAI's national plan will be presented next week at the institute's annual Regions Rising summit in Canberra.
In 2022, 65 per cent of regional employers reported difficulty filling jobs, Ms Ritchie said. The goal is to reduce this figure to 40 per cent by 2032, and it is anticipated that the collaboration with ViewJobs will contribute to achieving this target.
