Making a difference
David has a passion for delivering quality services to people in rural and remote areas. He is able to make sure this happens as the regional manager of CRS Australia's Northern Remote team.
David has been living and working in the Northern Territory for the past 20 years and thrives on working in some of the most remote locations in Australia. His team work with their communities to help job seekers to find work and employers to provide a safe workplace.
We can leave a community and feel like we've made a differenceDavid, CRS Australia Regional Manager
The region is just under 1.8 million square kilometres, or just over a fifth of the Australian landmass. With offices in Katherine, Alice Springs, Mt Isa, Nhulunbuy, Tennant Creek and Kununurra, David spends around 36 weeks of the year travelling to remote communities.
'This is some of the most pristine country that people save up all their lives to visit, and we work in it,' David says. 'It's absolutely mind blowing.'
David says that living and working in these communities allows staff to build an instant rapport with job seekers and employers, and that the impact they have on communities is visible.
'The people who work for us here make a difference,' David says.
When it comes to finding employment for job seekers, David says the communities are so intimate they want to help each other and give job seekers a go.
'It's not so much about going through the Yellow Pages to find employers. You go for a walk down to the local shops,' he says.
David's passion for rehabilitation has extended to his hobbies. He and his wife look after injured wildlife and are involved in a breeding program to increase the population of a species of endangered wallaby.
'To provide services to as many Australians as we can in our patch, that's what gets you out of bed in the morning,' David says.
