Career opportunities

Key opportunities include:


The career that needs you

In a recent survey by the Australian Human Resources Institute, 80.3% of HR leaders said they believe their organisation will change its operation, delivery and/or strategy, due to COVID-19.

These changes involve areas like greater flexibility, virtual training, organisation restructuring and a bigger focus on a positive team culture. It’s the HR Manager who is mainly responsible for creating and managing these changes.

Your future in HR could include being part of implementing these changes, and being part of a huge change in the way our workplaces operate.
A career in HR offers you a chance to help people, provides a strong opportunity for growth, days with a variety of tasks, work you enjoy and possibly even telecommuting opportunities and flexible hours.
