Located on Queensland’s north-east coast, Townsville is North Queensland’s largest city and home to more than 200,000 residents. With a thriving economy, strong career opportunities and a relaxed tropical lifestyle, it’s a place where you can build a rewarding career without compromising on life outside of work. Major investment across mining, energy, defence, infrastructure, transport and construction continues to create exciting opportunities and long-term career pathways.
Life in Townsville is easy, with most of the city within a 15-minute drive – from work and the airport to beaches, schools, shopping, sporting facilities and restaurants. Families enjoy excellent schools, outdoor spaces, sporting clubs and a welcoming community, while adventure is always close by, with Magnetic Island, the Great Barrier Reef, Cape York and the Australian Outback right on your doorstep. And when winter arrives, there’s no need to escape the cold — think sunny 23°C days, clear water, hiking, fishing and weekends spent outdoors.
With the convenience and opportunities of a major regional city, combined with the lifestyle and community feel of North Queensland, Townsville offers a genuine opportunity to build a career, put down roots and enjoy more of what life has to offer.
