I got sick of scrolling past Melbourne to find a job in my own town
Living in Inverloch, finding local work meant jumping between the big job sites, a dozen Facebook groups and whoever you bumped into at the bakery. I’ve worked in recruitment, so I know what that does to local businesses too: city prices to advertise, then applications from people who’ll never make the drive.
So I built Gippslander: one place for Gippsland jobs, priced for Gippsland businesses, run by someone who lives here.

Our mission
Three things we won’t budge on
For everyone
Local first. If it’s not in Gippsland, it’s not on here.
From Drouin to Mallacoota, every job is in the region. You won’t scroll past three pages of city jobs to find the one in your town.
Search by the town you actually live in
Not on Gippslander: Interstate and Melbourne CBD jobs
For employers
Hiring shouldn’t cost more than the first week’s wages.
A small business in Leongatha shouldn’t pay what a Melbourne bank pays to find staff. Post a job for $49, pay once, and reach people who can actually get to work.
$49 per job, live for 30 days
Not on Gippslander: Lock-in contracts or account managers
For job seekers
Real jobs from real local businesses.
Job ads posted on Gippslander are checked by a real person before they go live, so you can apply with confidence.

“Remember the noticeboard at the general store? Gippslander is that, for the whole region. Local jobs, pinned up by local businesses, for local people.”
Gippslander is 100% focused on the Gippsland region. We don't list Melbourne jobs, and we don't bury your ad behind hundreds of sponsored results. Every listing gets promoted across our local channels — including job expos, community partners, and job alert emails to local job seekers. You're also dealing directly with a local person (Kane), not a call centre.
Does it cost anything to use Gippslander as a job seeker?
No. Gippslander is completely free for job seekers. You can browse jobs, create a profile, set up email alerts, and apply for roles at no cost.
Are all jobs on Gippslander based in Gippsland?
Yes. Every job listed on Gippslander is based in the Gippsland region of Victoria. We don't list Melbourne or remote-only roles. If it's on here, it's local.
What is Gippslander?
Gippslander is a local job website built specifically for the Gippsland region of Victoria. We connect local employers with local job seekers — no Melbourne noise, no algorithm-driven job boards. Just real roles from real Gippsland businesses. The platform is owned and run by Kane, a local who built it because Gippsland deserved something better.
What areas does Gippslander cover?
We cover all of Gippsland — from Warragul and Drouin in the west through to Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance in the east. That includes Baw Baw, South Gippsland, Bass Coast, Latrobe City, Wellington, and East Gippsland shires.
