But, you don’t have to live on Fraser to work at the resort. A large number of our resort staff choose to commute from Hervey Bay on the mainland to and from work. Rostered shifts are aligned with ferry times that operate throughout the day. The first passenger ferry runs from 6.45am and the last leaves the island at 5:00pm – it’s a pleasant 50-minute journey across the calm waters of The Great Sandy Strait, and is free for all employees.

If you are wanting to live and work on Fraser Island, then you must be over the age of 18 years. 

From December 17th, 2021 all resort staff are required to be double vaccinated.

The resort operates on a 7-day week, whereby all staff members have 2 rostered days off per week.
