Thredbo Jobs
Life in the Snowies
We’re all about work-life balance and Thredbo encourages employees to live as passionately outside of work as they do at work. Thredbo is a winter playground for skiing and snowboarding, but there is so much more to offer. Thredbo doesn’t go to sleep once the snow melts, but ramps up with mountain biking and hiking.
But first, let’s fill you in on a few of the finer details about where to find a place to live and how you will get to work! Generally, winter rental properties are advertised from January/February each year, and summer rentals from August/September for both Jindabyne and Thredbo.

Thredbo is home to around 300 year-round residents, however that number jumps to over 4,000 (including guests) in winter. While services may be limited to an extent, it’s rare to not be able to get a hold of whatever it is that you need. Services in Thredbo include:
