Gippslander’s July in Review: A Huge Month for Local Jobs

We knew things were picking up… but July? July was next level.

Just under 7000 job views and 586 job applications — easily our biggest month yet.

If you posted a job, applied for one, or even just had a scroll to see what’s out there — thank you. Gippslanders showed up in force, and it proves exactly why a local job site like this one matters.

We’re pretty chuffed (and yes, we might’ve high-fived the dog).

Here’s what went down…

The Most Popular Job Categories in July 🔥

We saw searches across all sorts of industries, but these five took the cake:

1. Administration and Support
2. Construction and Trades
3. Retail and Hospitality
4. Community and Social Services
5. Healthcare and Medical

Whether you’re after office work, hands-on roles, or something in the care sector — Gippslanders are out there looking and applying.

Top 5 Locations Where People Were Searching 🌏

Local love was strong this month. These towns had the biggest reach:

• Bairnsdale
• Warragul
• Traralgon
• Leongatha
• Morwell

If you're hiring in these areas, you're in a very good spot.

We Made a Bit of Noise 📰

We were stoked to be featured in the media this month — shining a light on the real stuff happening across our region:

• ABC Radio Victoria – We had a great chat with Prue Bentley from ABC Drive about the challenges people in their 50s face when looking for work in Gippsland. You can listen to the interview here.
• Gippsland Times – They published a great article on why having a local job site like Gippslander is more important than ever. You can view the article details here

It’s a reminder that behind every job ad is a person, a family, a story. And we're here to help those stories connect.

Why It Matters 💚

Gippslander isn’t just another job board — it’s locally owned and operated, built specifically for our region. No head office in the city, no generic listings from who-knows-where. Just real jobs for real people across Gippsland.

And judging by July? It’s working.
