What are the best job sites in Australia?

Australia has several job search websites, each offering different features that can help you find work. Here are some of the most effective options for job seekers:

1. JobSearch

JobSearch is a free online job search engine operated by the Australian Government. It connects job seekers with employment opportunities across various sectors, and the platform is designed to be inclusive and accessible.

JobSearch is especially useful for those who want to explore the Australian Government’s Workforce Australia service.

If you’re living with disability, injury, or a health condition and need tailored support, Workforce Australia providers like APM may assist you with finding jobs, accessing apprenticeships and traineeships, and providing one-on-one employment services in your area.

2. SEEK

SEEK is one of Australia’s largest and most popular job search websites. With millions of job seekers and employers using the platform, it offers a broad range of opportunities.

You can search for positions based on location, industry, salary, and type of employment (full-time, part-time, casual, or contract). SEEK also provides a feature that allows you to create a detailed profile, helping potential employers find you.

This platform also offers tools for job seekers to stay organised, such as keeping track of jobs you’ve applied for and receiving alerts when new jobs matching your profile are posted.

3. CareerOne

CareerOne is a user-friendly platform that connects job seekers with opportunities that suit their preferences. You can search for jobs by location, industry, and work type, and set up alerts to notify you when new listings that match your criteria become available.

What sets CareerOne apart is its focus on flexibility—making it easier for people looking for part-time work, remote roles, or specific schedules to find suitable positions. It also offers additional resources, such as free CV reviews and career advice.

4. Indeed

Indeed is another popular platform that helps millions of people around the world find jobs and helps companies connect with the right candidates.

The site provides detailed job descriptions, company reviews, salary information, and new job alerts, allowing job seekers to make informed decisions.

Indeed is particularly beneficial for people looking for jobs that accommodate their skills, interests, or individual circumstances, whether you are searching for a flexible role or looking for a company that values inclusivity.

Employable Me is a great choice for those looking for a workplace that understands and accommodates the needs of people with disability, injury, or health conditions.

You can find job listings across numerous sectors and industries. Jora also provides company profiles and job trend information, allowing users to make informed decisions about their next career step.

7. LinkedIn

LinkedIn combines professional networking with job searching. By creating a detailed profile that highlights your skills, experiences, and achievements, you can connect with potential employers and other professionals in your field.

LinkedIn allows you to search for job listings, but it also offers a powerful way to build relationships and explore opportunities through networking. Additionally, it provides insights into company culture, employee experiences, and industry trends—helping you make informed decisions about the roles you apply for.

8. Adzuna

Adzuna aggregates job listings from a variety of sources, including newspapers, and compiles them in one place, making it easier to search for opportunities.

Beyond job search websites – Other ways to find work

While job sites are an excellent place to start, not all job opportunities are advertised online. Many roles are filled through other methods, including networking and direct outreach.

Here are a few additional strategies to enhance your job search:

Networking

Letting people in your network know that you’re looking for work can open up opportunities that may not be publicly listed. Your network could include friends, family, former colleagues, and even people you’ve met through volunteer work, education, or community activities. Networking is a great way to uncover roles that are not advertised.

Company websites

Many organisations post job openings directly on their websites. If you’re interested in working for a specific company, regularly checking their careers page or signing up for email alerts can help you stay informed about new opportunities.

Cold pitching

Reaching out to employers directly by email, phone, or in person—can sometimes lead to opportunities that haven’t yet been advertised.

By contacting companies and expressing your interest in working with them, you may discover job openings or even create new opportunities for yourself.

Employment services

If you’re finding it challenging to secure employment, there are government-funded services that can provide personalised support. These include:
