Diversity in the variety and depth of work is huge and spans many professional and trade areas.

Flexibility in the way and style, to support different ways of working. Firstly, to deliver services in the most efficient and cost-effective manner. And secondly, to meet the demands for those of us who want to achieve a better balance between their work and their other priorities including caring for children or elderly parents, gaining further education and qualifications or pursuing leisure or voluntary activities.

Benefits such as good working condition, leave, training and development, good superannuation, RDO system, leave loading and professional membership fees.

Whoever you are and whatever your background, working for Cairns Regional Council gives you the opportunity not only to develop your career but also to improve others’ lives.

You know you're in the right job when you return home each day confident you've done the job well and daily you're lifted by the positive energy of your office colleagues and clients.

Having the luxury of rdo's each month and 5 weeks annual leave, brings the term "work/life balance" well into reality and there's the comfort of job security no matter what economic crisis the world is enduring.
