Police officers, teachers, firefighters, doctors and childcare workers are among hundreds of essential workers and their families receiving support to relocate to regional New South Wales thanks to a successful NSW Government initiative.
Launched by the Government in June last year, The Welcome Experience has helped 511 essential workers to find a new home in the regions, settle into their communities, enrol kids in school, join sporting clubs and assist with finding a job for their partner.
The program will be rolled out into new regions of NSW this year, including Uralla, with hopes to give essential workers considering a change, that extra nudge to get them over the line to give their families choices and opportunities to fit in and be welcomed in the regions.
NSW Minister for Regional NSW and Minister for Western NSW, Tara Moriarty says the Government’s decision to expand the program shows what a difference a warm welcome can make for workers moving to a new community adding it fosters people to grow roots in the town and be part of the community they are looking after.
