Pros
- City-based work, so you are not cut off; Greyhound buses and an airport
- Meals provided each shift; free parking
- Darwin postcodes also count (all of the Northern Territory counts)
Watch out for
- Staff accommodation is not mentioned; you need to rent in Darwin yourself
- Bar attendants need 2 years' experience plus RSA and RSG
- Casual at 25–30 hours a week, so reaching 88 / 179 days takes longer
- Gaming / cage cashier roles may not count as tourism and hospitality
