Living regionally is a real lifestyle change. I joined DCJ five years ago, and I love regional living because I have a strong community around me and a great work–life balance.
I finish work and I’m home with my family within 10 minutes. I love the beaches, the nearby country, and getting out on weekends to go camping. It’s where I’m happiest — it’s my happy place.

I moved to Dubbo around nine years ago, and living in Dubbo is amazing. You’ve got a really strong community, and I have more quality time with my family.
Since moving to regional NSW, I’ve had more time to go for a quick run in the morning, catch up with my mates, and grab a coffee before work. I’d definitely recommend everyone give regional NSW a go — you’ll love it.

I love what I do, and I love where I live. What anchors me to regional work and regional life is the serenity. It’s a beautiful place to work, with so many great people.
I love the ocean, the water, and the mountains — out here, I’ve got everything. I had no idea what skills I had until I moved regionally, and I didn’t realise what I was capable of.
One of the benefits of working in a regional location is the opportunity for promotion. You have more face time with management to prove yourself.
I wanted to connect with others and be part of a community, and working regionally gives you that sense of belonging. You won’t look back — the change you make will set you up for the future and make you a lot happier.
