Gippsland isn’t powered by wind farms and power stations alone — it’s powered by people. Local businesses simply wouldn’t run without these legends. They’re the heartbeat of our region, keeping towns humming and coffee machines frothing. And at Gippslander, we’re passionate about promoting these roles and helping local businesses find the talent that keeps everything ticking.
1. Working with Kids
From childcare centres in Sale to after-school programs in Leongatha, the people working with kids give our youngest Gippslanders the start they deserve. Whether you’re guiding toddlers through finger-painting chaos or coaching a junior footy team, you’re shaping futures one giggle at a time.
Be proud: You’re building confidence and curiosity in the next generation.

2. Nurse
From Warragul’s wards to Wonthaggi’s clinics, nurses are the real superheroes — capes swapped for scrubs. They keep the community healthy, calm panicked parents and somehow stay cheerful through night shifts. No hospital or medical practice could open its doors without them.
Be proud: Your care keeps Gippsland healthy and strong.

3. Cleaner
Offices, cafes, schools — they’d all be unrecognisable without cleaners. These quiet achievers turn Monday’s chaos into Tuesday’s fresh start. They wield mops like magic wands and make it look easy (spoiler: it’s not).
Be proud: You keep our workplaces and homes safe, fresh and welcoming.

4. Sales Assistant
Need to know which hiking boots will survive a Wilsons Prom trek or which fishing rod might actually hook a fish? Sales assistants are part tour guide, part fashion adviser, part therapist — and every local shop depends on their friendly know-how.
Be proud: Your smile and know-how keep local shopping alive.

5. Kitchen Crew
Behind every perfectly poached egg in Inverloch or Leongatha’s legendary schnitty is a team who thrive in the heat. Kitchen staff juggle orders, dodge hot pans and still laugh when you ask for “just a little extra gravy.” Without them, our cafés and pubs would be as empty as a pie warmer at 4 pm.
Be proud: You’re the reason Gippslanders never go hungry.

6. Support Worker
Support workers help people with disabilities, the elderly and anyone who needs a hand to live life to the fullest. Whether supporting aged care or NDIS participants, they’re the quiet champions of community life — patient, kind and able to multitask like nobody’s business.
Be proud: Your compassion and commitment change lives every day.

7. Supermarket Staff
The Friday-night BBQ would be a disaster without supermarket legends keeping us stocked with bread, milk and emergency Tim Tams. From shelf-stacking to checkout smiles, they keep every local sausage sizzle on track.
Be proud: You keep the region fed and every BBQ sizzling.

8. Apprenticeship Heroes
Today’s apprentices are tomorrow’s tradies, chefs and hairdressers. Whether it’s plumbing in Morwell or hairdressing in Sale, they’re learning the ropes — and keeping vital skills alive so our businesses have experts for years to come.
Be proud: You’re building the future of Gippsland’s trades and services.

9. Drivers
From courier runs to school buses, drivers know every shortcut, every pothole and which bakery is worth a detour (hint: probably all of them). Without these road warriors, Gippsland’s economy would literally stall.
Be proud: You keep our communities and goods moving.

10. Receptionist
The first smile you see when you walk into an office, the calm voice on the phone when you’re already late — receptionists are the gatekeepers of local business. They juggle calls, calendars and the occasional cranky customer without breaking a sweat.
Be proud: You’re the friendly first impression that makes local businesses shine.
