Working from home allows Australians all over the country to save time spent on commuting and travel costs, stay super focused on tasks without the distractions of an office, have more flexible hours and feel comfortable being in their own space.
There are many benefits to working remotely, so it may be no surprise to learn that once the shift was accelerated by the global pandemic, new studies have revealed a strong, resounding preference: that Australian job seekers expect this trend to continue and that workers believe employers will support work from home arrangements post-COVID. Many companies now have a hybrid model allowing employees flexibility.
While many jobs require a face-to-face presence at a worksite or workplace, there are many remote work career opportunities online that work well in a work from home setting (and not just data entry jobs or cold calling jobs!). You can still work closely with a team and communicate via video chat. All you need is a reliable internet connection.
Potential employers have embraced work from home jobs in Australia because it offers numerous advantages for both the companies and their employees (even customers too).
How can you join this growing wave of workers? Here are eight work from home jobs in Australia that could be your next career move.

Experienced graphic designers may be able to find work from home jobs in Australia, as you don’t always need to be on job sites to work on projects and listen to client feedback.

If you’ve got the skills to create engaging stories from videos, then you could work as a video editor from the comfort of your own home. You’ll need to be able to work with the appropriate software, create effects, make creative decisions, work to briefs, and deal with feedback.
You may be able to find video editing work on a freelance basis, or work full time for a specific company.
The need and appetite for travel bounced back strong after lockdowns. Given the improvements in technology, it’s less common these days for travellers to visit an actual travel agency to plan their next holiday – especially for corporate travellers. Instead, clients are getting in touch with travel agencies over the phone, via email, and by videoconferencing tools such as Zoom. This has created an opening for some travel consultants to work from home while still building positive relationships.
If you have experience in this field and know the ins and outs of the tourism industry, you may be able to secure a position where you can set up an office in your own home, and only visit your colleagues occasionally.
