Working and Living on Lady Elliot Island

A career with Lady Elliot Island is a unique and special opportunity that gives you the chance to work and play on a coral cay island.

Lady Elliot Island is one of only three coral cay resorts on the Great Barrier Reef, Australia, and the only resort with direct flight access to the island airstrip. The island is located within the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park in the highest possible classification of Marine National Park Zone by GBRMPA, therefore conservation and education is our top priority.

Our award winning resort offers a unique working environment on a coral cay located a short flight out of Hervey Bay in the Southern Great Barrier Reef Marine Precinct. With our genuine commitment to ECO and environmental initiatives, Lady Elliot Island offers you the chance to become a proud member of an award winning team.

All prospective employees need to have a friendly but professional manner and an ‘always happy to help’ attitude with a focus on giving excellent customer service. You will have excellent presentation, possess effective communication skills, show initiative and flexibility, be able to work unsupervised and have a strong team work ethic. The ability to respect and get along with your fellow workers is paramount in a remote working environment.

Additionally we encourage all applicants to consider our unique living and working environment in terms of remoteness & shared living arrangements. Working and living in a remote location is not for everyone. There is no mobile phone reception on the Island but we do have access to the Internet via satellite.
