About the employer

Avani Broadbeach Residences is a contemporary accommodation property on the Gold Coast in Queensland, offering apartment-style stays close to Broadbeach’s beaches, dining, shopping and entertainment. The property operates under Avani Hotels & Resorts, an international hospitality brand belonging to Minor International, a major hotel, restaurant and lifestyle group with operations across many countries. Avani properties generally focus on modern design, relaxed service and comfortable long-stay or leisure experiences. Team members support guests by maintaining high standards across accommodation, public areas and hotel facilities.

The role suits someone who enjoys practical work, takes pride in maintaining clean surroundings and can work effectively within a busy hospitality team.

Working in Australia

Australia is a large country rather than an island, with the Gold Coast offering strong opportunities in hotels, resorts, restaurants, cleaning, construction, healthcare, retail and tourism. The region has a warm coastal lifestyle, excellent beaches, outdoor activities and a relaxed, multicultural community. Broadbeach is well connected by trams and buses, although rents can be high and shared accommodation is common for new arrivals. Common visa pathways include employer-sponsored visas, skilled visas and the Working Holiday Maker program for eligible nationalities; visa conditions and work rights should be checked with the Australian Department of Home Affairs. Before relocating, arrange a tax file number, Australian bank account, suitable health cover and proof of work eligibility. Hospitality work may involve weekends, public holidays and variable shifts, while award wages, penalty rates and superannuation generally apply.
