Work, Stay, Play returns

Businesses experiencing workforce shortages can now register to participate in the Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade’s Work, Stay, Play program to attract workers to relocate to the Territory.

The program has been expanded to support employers across all industries experiencing critical skill shortages, such as construction, aged care, retail, hospitality and tourism.

Eligible businesses can apply for a one-off payment of $1,000 for each new employee which will support longer, full-time employment in all sectors.

The incentive is flexible, allowing each business to tailor their own recruitment packages to suit potential employees.

This incentive is part of the Northern Territory Government’s $12.8 million workforce package, designed to fill critical skill shortages and attract people to live and work in the Territory.

Businesses must be registered to participate in the Work, Stay, Play program.

Applications for eligible workers can be lodged from 9am on 2 May 2022.
