Regional work in Western Australia

Last updated: 2026-08-31

get88 holds 686 hospitality venues across 12 Western Australia towns, each with an email address that accepts mail. Broome is the biggest at 163.

Big towns have more venues and more people applying to them. Small towns have fewer of both. The table is sorted by size so you can pick your end of that trade before you book the bus.

Regional work in WA runs on two lists: the north — Broome, Karratha, Exmouth, Kununurra — sits in Northern Australia, where paid hospitality counts for the 88 days, and towns like Esperance and Rottnest Island qualify through the Remote and Very Remote list instead. Perth and Fremantle are the exception — metro postcodes don't count for hospitality at all.

Western Australia towns by venue count

Every count is a count of venues on the get88 list, not a census of Western Australia. Only towns get88 has finished checking are listed here.

What the list covers

Hospitality, tourism and housekeeping roles only. There is no farm, construction, mining or fishing work on it. The setup is on the how it works page, and which postcodes and which work count is in the specified work guide.

get88 is a job-application tool, not migration advice. Whether any role counts toward your visa is decided by the Department of Home Affairs — check the official specified-work pages for the 417 and 462 visas directly.
