We operate the RAES in one (1) distinct contractual region throughout Council’s area.
This region includes Borroloola and Robinson River (including the identified Outstations).
Our Remote Australia Employment Service delivers activities and projects that are culturally and environmentally appropriate, including community driven/requested accredited and non-accredited training across the region. Our RAES has placed over 30 local job seekers into employment across the regions.
