Split between lush green hills and rolling surf this beautiful area of Queensland offers plenty in the way of part- time employment. Backpackers especially enjoy the beaches in abundance with the obligatory cafes, restaurants and bars provide vast opportunities for those looking for casual work. Local papers and walk-ins are the best way to find these jobs that offer wages starting from $12p.h for a kitchen-hand to wait staff receiving at least $16 per hour. The most called for staff placing’s are in the cleaning industry where the casual rates vary between resorts but usually start at about $15-20p.h. Most beach suburbs during the summer holidays are easy places to find work and “first in, best dressed”, attitude along with a happy disposition will help earn you some more travel funds.

Tradesmen in the building trade are in constant demand and you can earn some quick money in the region of $25-40 per hour. There is a large volume of work offering in the many new housing developments and a quick look in the local papers or a drive around the suburbs will show you what’s available. Out in the hinterland (the hills & ranges behind the beaches), the types of jobs available are similar to the beach areas but there is also part-time work to be found in saw mills, orchards, nurseries and forestry departments. Once again the local papers and local folks are the best source for any job information.

The Sunshine Coast is a laid-back beautiful part of Australia with an abundance of reasonable accommodation and employment, surrounded by beaches and rural villages it is well worth the time to visit and enjoy the ambiance.
