Outdoors October

October 2025 will see a national focus on outdoor jobs.

We are excited to announce the formation of the National Adventure Workforce working group, which aims to enhance career opportunities within the adventure and outdoor industry.

The group members include Outdoor Council of Australia, State/Territory peak bodies for the outdoor industry (including Outdoors Queensland), the Australian Department of Employment and Workplace Relations and other industry stakeholders.

To support increasing awareness of jobs and careers in the outdoor industry, we are dedicating the month of October to focus nationally on careers in this vibrant industry, under the branding of “Outdoors October.”

Part of this initiative will be an online event specifically for careers advisors and employment services providers. This event will provide valuable insights into the diverse range of jobs and career paths available within the adventure workforce. It will be an excellent opportunity for you to showcase your organization and the exciting career opportunities you offer.

Another aspect will be events that promote jobs in the outdoors, with opportunities for outdoor operators to host or contribute to those events.

You can be a part of this initiative by promoting your jobs and careers during Outdoors October. Your participation will not only help in attracting talented individuals to your organisation but also contribute to the growth and development of the outdoor/adventure workforce.
