Tumut: A Growing Destination for Essential Workers

Tumut is becoming an increasingly popular choice for essential workers, offering a blend of natural beauty, affordable living, and strong community support. Our Local Connector, Jay recently engaged with the Tumut community, providing valuable settlement support to the new Occupational Therapist who joined the Tumut Hospital. Since the start of this year, there has been a notable increase in interest from individuals considering Tumut as their preferred settlement location.

Jay also expressed gratitude to Business Snowy Valleys for the opportunity to present on The Welcome Experience. The feedback from employers, many of whom are grappling with staffing shortages, was overwhelmingly positive. Jay highlighted the importance of being closely connected with the business community, particularly when considering partner employment opportunities - one of the key factors families take into account when making decisions about long-term settlement.

This growing interest in Tumut highlights its appeal as a prime location for essential workers looking for a balance of work, lifestyle, and community.
