What is Australian JobSearch?

JobSearch is Australia's largest free online jobs board. It is funded and operated by the Australian Government as a free service to assist job seekers into employment and connect employers with quality staff.

JobSearch is not just for job seekers. Job Network members, Job Placement Licensed Organisations and public employers upload their vacancies and search for potentially suitable job seekers.

Job seekers can search for jobs via the map on the homepage by choosing their state, local area and occupation category. The advanced search function includes more detail in searching criteria.

Everyone is welcome to use JobSearch to search for vacancies. Register free to take advantage of the complete range of services.

Vacancies displayed on JobSearch come from many different sources, including:

• public employers
• Job Network members
