On 18 October 2025, the AAC Roebourne office came together in true community spirit, with new and existing staff working side by side to host a welcoming BBQ for jobseekers and future employers. This wasn’t just about sharing a meal—it was about creating a space where people could connect, yarn, and build trust. The event highlighted AAC’s commitment to breaking down barriers and showing that employment opportunities are possible, even when challenges exist.
The BBQ welcomed representatives from Yurra-Garli JV Project, NYFL, EPIC, Jobs and Skills, NBAC Yurra, and Monadelphous, alongside local jobseekers eager to learn about upcoming roles. The relaxed setting allowed for genuine conversations, where job seekers could ask questions, explore options, and gain confidence about their future. Behind the scenes, AAC staff worked with passion and teamwork to make sure everyone felt included and supported.
One of the most exciting outcomes was the connection made with the Yurra-Garli JV Project, which has already led to job placements for some of our job seekers. These success stories highlight the power of community-driven events and AAC’s commitment to working closely with local partners to create real employment pathways. Breaking Barriers and Building Hope
For many job seekers, restrictions and uncertainty can feel like roadblocks. This event proved that with the right support and connections, opportunities are within reach. AAC continues to lead by example, showing that collaboration and cultural understanding are key to building a stronger, more inclusive workforce.
The Good Yarns & Deadly Feed BBQ was more than a meal; it was a catalyst for change. By fostering relationships between job seekers and employers, AAC Roebourne is paving the way for brighter futures in our community.
