The Welcome Experience - Northern New England

What is The Welcome Experience?


The Welcome Experience is a free service supporting essential workers (and their families) who are considering applying for or have accepted a job in regional NSW or for those that have already made the move in the last 12 months.


Our Community Connectors in Glen Innes (Pagan) and Inverell (Emma) will help essential service workers with the life stuff, everything from the practicalities of finding housing, choosing childcare, exploring job opportunities for partners or even introducing you to your neighbours!


To find out more or if you are an essential worker that has relocated or considering relocating to Glen Innes or Inverell you can find out more and/or register for the service below.
