One of the best things about working in the Territory is undoubtedly the lifestyle and opportunity.
From the pristine shores of our northern coastland – just a two hour flight to Asia – to the iconic red desert of Central Australia, new residents will find a warm welcome and an environment geared for the future.
Complemented by clean air, friendly faces and the realisation of strong economic growth, the Northern Territory provides a way of life unlike any other place in Australia. It is a place of opportunity for families, business people and individuals and delivers a unique quality of life.
