MOVE opens doors for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander employment at Be Deadly Jobs Expo
Finding a job can feel overwhelming but opportunities often start with a conversation.
At the 2026 Be Deadly Jobs Expo, inclusive conversations were happening all day, bringing together job seekers, community organisations and over 50 employers in a space built on trust, culture, support and connection.
Held on Friday 22 May at the Aboriginal Advancement League, the expo created a welcoming environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and other job seekers to explore career pathways and training opportunities. Open to participants from all backgrounds, the event helped break down barriers often faced in traditional recruitment processes.
Our presence at the expo focused on creating meaningful employment opportunities and strengthening relationships with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.
Jaye Hansford, our Community Engagement Coordinator, said the steady flow of conversations reflected genuine interest from people wanting to better understand opportunities within the leisure industry.
“I was kept busy speaking with a wide range of attendees, particularly those interested in employment opportunities at Belgravia Leisure, as well as engaging with organisations supporting employment pathways. The genuine nature of these connections is already evident, with multiple follow-up meetings now underway to collaborate and create employment outcomes,” she said.
The day included a smoking ceremony, Welcome to Country from Aunty Zeta, cultural performances and a Q&A and performance from Mitch Tambo, reinforcing the strong sense of culture and community throughout the day.
Several expressions of interest have been received, with follow up conversations already underway. We are proud to be part of an inclusive and welcoming community.
