Work in Tasmania
Sir David Attenborough describes Tasmania as ‘the weird and wonderful isle at the bottom of the world’.It is an island in the midst of change. It has one of the fastest growing economies in Australia, Hobart has the second lowest rainfall of all Australian cities and it is one of the safest cities in the country.
But we are short of people!
We want hairdressers to come and work and live in our island paradise as we haven’t got enough people to meet our growing need. It’s simple, register your interest in working in Tasmania and Hair & Beauty Tasmania will canvass salons in your chosen town or area (statewide) and get you working in paradise.
