Is your teen craving adventure, unique opportunities and once-in-a-lifetime experiences?
Whether they’re dreaming of road tripping the US with mates or gallivanting around Europe with a new crush, it’s human nature to want to soak up every amazing experience possible while they’re young.
But what if we told you that they could have everything they wanted right here in Aus?
Here are five reasons why they should consider working or doing a gap year in the Northern Territory to make some unforgettable memories on their own turf.
- Live and work somewhere innately different
In the Northern Territory’s Red Centre you can’t help but feel inspired and connected to the land. From discovering ancient Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park to checking out unique museums (like Alice Springs School of the Air Experience) and stunning sunrise walks, there’s no shortage of different things to do and see.
Not only that, but by moving away from home they will get to meet heaps of interesting people from diverse backgrounds, returning with tales to tell and experiences their friends won’t have had.
- Enjoy exciting events in the Red Centre of Aus
It’s no secret that The Red Centre is unlike any other place in the world. It has a super impressive array of awe-inspiring events to keep you on your toes – like Alice Springs Desert Festival and Desert Mob exhibition and marketplace, which can both be enjoyed from September through to October.
- Enjoy truly unique experiences
Living in The Red Centre means landing jobs you can’t find anywhere else in Aus – jobs that they will remember forever. Did you know you can get a job as a cameleer taking people on tours around Alice Springs, through the Ilparpa Valley, the MacDonnell Ranges and Kings Canyon? Then there’s awesome jobs like Lodge Manager, where they can get to work in one of the NT’s luxury lodges in the stunning outback.
4) Work Perks
With $500 cash incentives just for landing yourself a job in the Red Centre, it’s easy to see why young people would want to make the move to the Northern Territory. To be eligible for the awesome $500 travel bonus, they will need to:
- Land eligible tourism or hospo employment through The Job Shack NT or Year 13 website
- Complete a minimum number of hours over at least 8 weeks of work in the NT
- Employment started on or after 1 March 2022
- Have travelled to the NT from overseas or interstate
- Be 18 years or over
If all of the above applies, they could be eligible for a cheeky $500 Work Perks travel bonus to spend at any of their visitor info centres. How good?
5) Find out for yourself
The weather up north means more sunshine to appreciate the magical natural landscapes our country is so famous for.
To embrace our culture means appreciating all the opportunities and unique experiences that come with living in such a vast, diverse country.
And it’s all for the taking. And the best bit is if you miss your kid while they’re away gapping in the NT, you can easily come for a visit too.
Not only that, but they’ll get to be close to nature on another level. Not only will they be among vast terrains with red deserts and vast rocky backdrops, they also get to discover stunning swimming holes like Ormiston Gorge, as well as revel in the sacred Aboriginal site of Uluru.
