​​Great Location

With offices in great locations in the Central West of New South Wales and more planned to be open, this role opens the door to a different lifestyle.  Personally, I love it!  Instead of a commute - from my front doorstep to the office is a 7 minute drive with minimal traffic.  Regional centers offer all the benefits of a metro area without all the hassles.



Universities & Higher Education

Bathurst hosts the CSU primary campus and enables access to ongoing higher education and other opportunities.

Close to the City

Being 2 to 3 hours from Sydney is just that perfect distance!  


If there was something you wanted to access it is an $8.50 train ride from Bathurst and a great chance to read a book on the way.


And yet you can still enjoy a 5 minute commute from your home to work in town.

Extra Curricular

In addition to being the home of FOOD Week – one of Australia’s premier gastronomic festivals, Orange offers culinary and wine delights year round. Orange is now recognised as one of Australia’s premier wine growing regions and enjoys an abundance of gourmet restaurants and tantalising cafes.
