ABOUT US

Outback Spirit Tours offers extraordinary adventure tours and luxury short stays that capture the very essence of Australia. From the rugged red cliffs of the Kimberley to the unspoiled beauty of Tasmania, we bring our guests face‑to‑face with the country’s most iconic landscapes and stories.

Operating eight remote camps and lodges in some of Australia’s most breathtaking and hard‑to‑reach locations, our passionate team of guides, drivers, camp / lodge hosts, chefs, and operations staff are dedicated to creating once‑in‑a‑lifetime experiences for our guests.

Australia’s leading experiential tourism group, Journey Beyond, is privileged to operate 14 brands spanning the country, connecting guests to the land, and to each other. Joining the Journey Beyond family, you will play an integral role in supporting our business as we continue to share special places and shape lasting memories for our guests.

ABOUT YOU

Do you have a passion for the outdoors, adventure, and creating unforgettable guest experiences?

Outback Spirit Tours is seeking motivated hospitality all‑rounders to join our teams at remote Camps and Lodges across Western Australia, Queensland, and the Northern Territory.

If the idea of dining under star‑filled skies, bird watching in Cape York, or connecting with the untouched wilderness of Arnhem Land sounds like a dream — imagine being paid to live there, with free meals and accommodation included.

Our guests join us on multi‑day luxury small‑group adventures, and we pride ourselves on delivering excellence at every touchpoint. That’s where you come in …

ABOUT THE POSITIONS

We have a range of rewarding opportunities for adaptable, enthusiastic team members who thrive in dynamic environments and enjoy variety in their day. Some positions will begin in February, with the majority starting in April. Most Lodges and Camps are set to close in September, while a select few will extend until November.

REMOTE LIVING

Our camps and lodges are located in some of Australia’s most remote regions. Many cannot be accessed by road – instead, you’ll be flown to site from Darwin or Cairns via our private aviation network. You’ll live and work onsite for the entirety of the season, typically 5–10 months, without regular access to nearby towns or cities.

This lifestyle offers a rare opportunity to disconnect from the everyday, immerse yourself in nature, and connect deeply with Australia’s vast and beautiful landscapes. While it comes with unique challenges, it’s also one of the most rewarding experiences you’ll ever have.

WHAT WE OFFER

• Amazing opportunity to work in a dynamic, growing tourism business
• Generous discounts on Journey Beyond travel and experiences
• Accommodation and meals provided
• Employee Referral Policy
• Private Health discounts
• Employee Assistance Program
