1. Account Registration

To access certain features of the Platform, you may be required to create an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information during registration and to keep your account credentials secure. You are responsible for all activities under your account.

2. Terms for Employers

Employers include individuals or organisations using Gippslander to post jobs, promote roles, or hire talent.

2.1 Job Listings

By posting a job on Gippslander, you agree to the following:

Location Requirement: All job listings must be for roles physically based in Gippsland, Victoria. We do not accept fully remote jobs, or roles based outside Gippsland.
Business Requirement: You must be a registered Australian business with a valid Australian Business Number (ABN) to advertise on the Platform.
Compliance: All listings must comply with applicable laws, including those relating to anti-discrimination, fair work, and employment standards.
Accuracy: Job listings must be truthful, up to date, and clearly describe the role and any requirements.

Gippslander reserves the right to remove or reject any listings that do not meet these standards.

2.2 Employer Conduct

You agree not to:

Post misleading, spammy, or fraudulent job listings.
Advertise unpaid roles or “opportunities” that are not clearly disclosed as such.
Misuse job seeker data or contact applicants for reasons unrelated to the role listed.
Post jobs that involve multilevel marketing, pyramid schemes, or commission-only sales unless clearly stated and lawful.

2.3 Subscription and Payment Terms

Gippslander offers two types of paid services for employers:

a. One-Off Job Postings

You may choose to pay a once-off fee to post a single job on the Platform. This fee is charged at the time of purchase and grants you access to the job posting service for the duration specified (e.g., 30 or 45 days). This payment is not part of an ongoing subscription and does not renew automatically.

b. Subscription Plans

Employers with ongoing recruitment needs may choose a monthly subscription plan. Subscriptions are billed automatically on a monthly basis, starting from the date of purchase. You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account dashboard. Cancellation will prevent the next billing cycle but will not refund the current period.

c. General Payment Terms

All prices are displayed in Australian dollars (AUD) and include GST unless stated otherwise.

Fees are non-refundable, except where required by Australian Consumer Law. If you believe you are entitled to a refund under law, please contact us.
