continue your committment to community at Wollondilly
At Wollondilly Shire Council, we value the unique skills, knowledge, and experience that service personnel bring from their dedicated service to our country. With a broad range of career opportunities within Local Government, we offer diverse pathways for those looking to transition into a meaningful career. Much like Defence, our core mission is to serve and support the community, which requires a workforce that is resilient, resourceful, and committed to making a difference.
Veterans bring a diverse and highly valuable skill set, including leadership, teamwork, initiative, accountability, and communication, all of which seamlessly translate to roles within Local Government. We encourage ex-service personnel to explore the wide range of career opportunities not just at Wollondilly Shire Council, but across Local Government positions. For more opportunities available within local government organisations they can be found at Careers at Council.
