Further underlining the impact the staff shortage crisis is having across the entire accommodation spectrum, in tandem with their city and coastal colleagues, properties located in the far west of NSW are undergoing similar issues following a recent spate of regional travel.
Out of the Ordinary Outback owner, Scott Smith, said the NSW outback offered workers an uncrowded and relaxed lifestyle full of fresh air, open, rugged scenery, big horizons, friendly towns, rich history, vibrant culture, and colourful characters.
“Working in the outback is an unforgettable, life-changing and character-building experience so we invite budding and talented hospitality workers and managers to take advantage of this special opportunity now,” Mr Smith said.
The company is looking for new hotel managers, chefs, waiters, front-of-house hospitality stars, bar staff and housekeepers.
The company’s property portfolio includes the Broken Hill Outback Resort, The Argent Motel and The Tourist Lodge in Broken Hill, the Copper City Motel/Hotel in Cobar, the billabong-side cabins at Warrawong on the Darling at Wilcannia, and the remote Ivanhoe Hotel Motel.
One of its better-known hotels is the famous White Cliffs Underground Motel, Australia’s largest underground accommodation, set in the remote and quirky outback opal mining town of White Cliffs.
