One of the many employers using WorkerConnect is the Nightcliff Sports Club in Darwin’s northern suburbs.

Manager Paul McGuire, who moved to Darwin from the Gold Coast with his wife Angela earlier this year and immediately bought a house, heard about the digital platform through discussions with the Northern Territory Government and through DAMA, the Designated Area Migration Agreements, a regional immigration framework.

“WorkerConnect was so easy to use,” he says.

“It’s tailored for Top End employers looking to fill skill shortages, especially in regional areas. It’s great to see candidates who are genuinely interested in living and working in the Northern Territory.

The Nightcliff Sports Club has hired three overseas team members, Parakorn Kunarak from Thailand, Jane Rinelke from Indonesia and Huizhong ‘Jo’ Ku from China.

“It was a smooth process,” says Paul. “They have settled in well and become valuable members of our team.”
