Free flights and $1,000 vouchers: Australian hospitality sector lures UK workers

As the industry prepares to ramp up again amid staff shortages, one company is offering big incentives to British workers

Chelsee Whitehead has worked in the hospitality industry since she left high school four years ago. Before Covid-19, she always thought her industry was secure.

“I picked hospitality because I thought it was an industry that would always be booming. I thought it was a sector that can’t be shaken,” she says. “Then Covid happened and turned that around. It has made work unstable, and has completely changed the environment.”
