As part of Traverse Alpine Group’s commitment to excellent service and providing a safe work place, we require all front of house staff to hold a current Victorian RSA (Responsible Serving of Alcohol).
  
Please note that other state/territory RSA’s will not be accepted due to Victorian liquor licensing requirements.

Victorian RSA’s are now able to be completed online, without a face-to-face session. CLICK HERE to pay and complete your RSA course online.

You will be required to upload your Victorian RSA Certificate in Employment Hero as part of your onboarding process.

If you have any queries about your RSA, please click here to reach out to us.

We know everyone is excited to find out which venues you will be working in and where you will be living, and we appreciate your patience with this while we finalise our recruitment. 

Once our recruitment period has finished (late May) and venue/accommodation allocations are finalised, we will send out an email to all detailing the following: 

  • Which accommodation building you will be living in
  • Which room you will be living in
  • Your direct manager’s name and email address 
  • Your main venue of employment (please note – it is likely you will be required to work in multiple venues throughout the season)
If you require a lift from Mt Beauty to Falls Creek upon your initial arrival, these options will be communicated via the TAG What’s App group.

Work uniforms

For most, staff uniforms will be provided (venue specific shirt, apron, etc.). For other requirements by department see below:
  • Food and Beverage: black pants & black shoes (leggings are not considered appropriate) 
  • Kitchen: suitable non-slip footwear. Staff will need to bring own tops and aprons. Head Chef’s will advise directly when you arrive if there is any change to this
  • Guest Services (including Housekeeping & Day Spa): black pants & black shoes (leggings are not considered appropriate)
  • Operations and Logistics: some external layers (jackets) will be provided, but please have waterproof clothing and multiple warm base layers available
If you think you will be cold at work, please pack a black long sleeve top, which you can wear underneath your work uniform.
 
Day to day clothing


Think warm and waterproof! For getting to and from work, you will want an external waterproof layer and waterproof boots, so you arrive at work dry and warm. Bring the usual clothing bits, but remember, staying warm is about trapping air in your clothing, so more long thin layers is warmer than a couple of thick ones.

Money, money, money

Have some money in the bank when you arrive. Work hours depend on visitor numbers, so until the school holidays start there will be reduced hours. Although we will endeavor to provide sufficient hours to cover your living expenses, it is advised to have something up your sleeve just in case you wish to go out or buy the new snowboard you have been looking at!

There is a small Foodworks in the resort that carries all the essentials if you wish to shop at Falls Creek, get that emergency item, or do not have the means to get to Mt Beauty or Albury. Foodworks also has an ATM if you need cash. 

If you have a car, or can carpool, Mt Beauty (45 minutes away) has a full size Foodworks supermarket and pharmacy, or you can travel an extra 30 mins to Bright or an extra hour to Albury if you want to do a more extensive shop. 

It is a good idea to bring a supply of toiletries with you, as the Falls Creek supermarket prices can be higher. For some clothing and snow equipment, there are also ski and board retail shops throughout the resort.

You can buy your fresh fruit and vegetables via Vegitation Wholesale, Arnolds or Foodworks Mt Beauty online, who all offer deliveries to Falls Creek. For all your meat supplies you can get in touch with the team from Tawonga South Butchery  who also deliver to Falls Creek regularly during winter. 
 
If you need a bank there is a Commonwealth Bank and Bendigo Bank in Mt Beauty. For other branches you will need to travel to Wodonga or Bright. 

You can have mail sent to you via the Falls Creek Post Office. The Falls Creek Post Office is located near the Falls Creek Foodworks and accessible on foot from anywhere in the Falls Creek village. Items should be address to:

Do you love all things content creation and social media? We would love to hear from you!


We are looking for social media champions for each venue. You will work under the guidance of our Social Media and Public Relations Manager Jessie to deliver content and images that fit with each individual brands goal for the season. Please email us at [email protected] if you are interested in adding this creative position to your role. 

TAG socials
 Follow our venues on Facebook & Instagram.

Facebook groups
Falls Creek Staff & Locals is handy for connecting with other Falls Creek people. Falls Creek Ride Share Can be good for sharing rides on and off the mountain.

Falls Creek resort app 
Snow and weather reports are available via the app.

Mobile coverage & Wi-Fi
There is 4G throughout the Falls Creek Resort, however the service varies at times and Telstra provide the best service/coverage. Optus and Vodaphone are limited. Our staff accommodation buildings are connected to fibre and have hi-speed wifi. 

By car
There are several ways to get from where you are, to where you want to be! The most obvious is by car. For those who are willing to bring others with them (share fuel costs/friendly conversation) jump on the Falls Creek Ride Share Facebook page and let others know your plans. This is also a helpful place to start if you are trying to get a lift to Falls Creek if you don’t have a car. When you get here, there are a couple of parking options for staff working within the resort.
 
Train/coach
V-Line has regular train and coach services to Albury (daily) and Mount Beauty  (Mon-Wed-Fri only), the nearest major towns from all major city centres. During the designated winter period, Falls Creek Coach Service provides regular bus transfers from the train station to Falls Creek. Please check their website for details and pricing: http://www.fallscreekcoachservice.com.au
As these coach services aren’t operational until opening weekend, TAG will assist with pickups as required from Albury and Mt Beauty. We will share this information closer to the date. 

On Arrival in Falls Creek – where do I go when I arrive in Falls Creek?
Prior to arrival, you will receive an email with information regarding your allocated accommodation, its location and how to find it, access codes, and any house rules that will apply. This will enable you to enter the village and make your way directly to your accommodation.

Before mid-June (pending snowfall), you can drive into the village to drop off your luggage, but you are only able to park for 30 minutes. After this, you can utilise the paid Accommodation Transfer Service (ATS) to transport you and your luggage to your accommodation (2023 pricing: $47 return or $30 one way – 2024 Pricing TBC) or you can carry your belongings into the village, which can be a lot of hard work if you are transporting over snow.

Once you have arrived and are settled into your accommodation, you are able to explore the village. The best way to do this is on foot, but there is also a free internal village shuttle that loops at about 15-minute intervals and stops at the designates shuttle stops. Please note, luggage is not allowed on these.

Training and orientation dates, times and locations will be sent to you prior to your arrival.

If you are looking to bring a car, it is very important to read below! Remember, you will only need your vehicle if you are travelling off the hill from Falls Creek. Everything in the village is walkable and when the snow is here you won’t be able to drive in the main village.
 
There are several parking options, all with varying costs and arrangements. 
 
Mountain Staff Permit – $275 – parking 5km from Falls Creek

Life IN FALLS CREEK

About Falls Creek

Falls Creek is a true winter wonderland and there are so many activities available!  

Skiing & Snow Boarding

Falls Creek features a massive 450 hectares of skiable terrain – that’s the largest of any resort in Victoria. With roughly 90 runs accessed by 14 lifts, there is something to suit everybody’s ability. 60% of Falls Creek’s terrain is intermediate (blue), and is what we like to call ‘progression perfect’ terrain. Nowhere else in Australia offers such opportunity to improve your skiing or riding with a gentle step up to a slightly longer, steeper or more technical run.  

Those at the beginner end of the spectrum will have great fun in the Drovers area and on Wombat’s Ramble – Australia’s longest green run (at 2.2km). Nervous to ride a lift for the first time with skis on? No problem – Halley’s Comet and Eagle Express are both detachable lifts, which means you can ride them without skis on for a simple step-off at the top.

For the advanced rider, the Summit is packed with steep black runs and is the launching pad for the deep powder stashes and tree runs of the Maze. Ride International Poma for the longest poma ride in the country, packed with a steep climb and iconic ‘Corner’, for the best access to Falls Creek’s black runs.

Equipment Rental & Cross Country

Equipment Rental
Several of the equipment rental outlets in Falls Creek offer season mountain staff rental of skis/boots/poles or snowboard/boots. The quality and price of the gear varies. Many choose to buy their own. Some second hand gear can be found on the
 Falls Creek Staff & Locals Facebook Group. You will of course also need snow pants, jacket, gloves, goggles and helmet (strongly recommended).
 

Cross Country
Cross country skiing is a huge part of the unique activity base that makes Falls Creek so special, and it includes more than you may think. Skating on fast corduroy trails, exploring new terrain off-piste in the National Park, making tele carves down the lift-accessed runs – it is all part of this booming winter Snowsport. Falls Creek is the home of cross country skiing in Australia with 65km of groomed trails. Find the style that suits you and give cross country a turn this winter. 

Access to the cross country trails is free – you do not need to purchase a pass to use the cross country trails. You will need to organise cross country equipment (rental available from YMCA Windy Corner at Falls Creek) and appropriate clothing.   

Check out all of the winter Activities in Falls Creek  including Snow Mobile Tours, Back Country Tours, Snow Shoeing and Tubing. 

EPIC Australia Pass

Whilst you don’t need to buy a lift pass, we guarantee you’ll get hooked if you do and will want to ski/board every chance you can get!

The best value option for a season pass is the EPIC Australia Pass. The price of the EPIC Australia Pass will continue to rise and once the season starts, it will be not available to buy. 

Buy EPIC Australia Pass Now

Once the season starts, there may be a Mountain Staff Season Pass, but these will be much more expensive.

Snowsports are inherently dangerous and the cost of emergency medical assistance is very high – upward of $20,000 if you need to be air lifted to Melbourne for treatment. Ambulance cover is now mandatory for all employees of Traverse Alpine Group. We recommend you purchase Victorian Ambulance cover for $51.94 per year per person. You can renew or purchase Ambulance cover here. When completing your onboarding, you will be required to upload your certificate of coverage on Employment Hero. If you need a Victorian address please use 16 Schuss Street, Falls Creek, VIC, 3699

Accommodation Info

Closer to winter we will be releasing information via email on your accommodation and where you will be living. Please be mindful that there is a lot of work that goes into rooming allocations and we are trying our best to make everyone as comfortable as possible. 

Accommodation
All of our staff accommodation is ‘on mountain’ and includes Silverski, Frying Pan Inn, Astra and Murmeli. Go to the Falls Creek Village Map to check out where these properties are located. Your place of accommodation will be confirmed prior to your arrival, when allocations have been finalised. This will allow you to head straight to your accommodation when you arrive in the village.

  • Private/couple bed is $236 per week per person

    Please note we do not set these rates, they come directly from the Hospitality Industry General Award. This might seem expensive, but keep in mind that to rent a studio in the village privately for the winter would set you back $15,000+.

The bond will be deducted from your pay (we will split it over weekly pay periods 4 x $112.50, starting from 6 July 2023).

The security bond may be returned to you after you leave staff accommodation, if your accommodation and all communal spaces have been left in good order (clean/undamaged/linen returned) and you have returned keys/POS wristbands/uniform.

The Security Bond is returned by direct deposit to your nominated account – please note for some people this may not be returned until after the end of the winter season.
