The Yakka Labour job board shows work that matches your trade and area, with the closest jobs first. Apply in a tap, then follow each application from pending to hired in one list.
How it works
-
Search by trade and area
Filter by skill (related trades are matched too) and by city or suburb. If there is nothing exact, the search widens to your wider area or state and tells you it did.
-
See the closest jobs first
Jobs are sorted by distance from you, and Yakka jobs older than 14 days are hidden so you are not chasing filled roles.
-
Open the details and apply
Check the dates, location and requirements, then apply. Yakka stops you double-booking dates you have already applied for.
-
Track your applications
Follow every application under All, Pending, Hired and Declined. The employer is notified as soon as you apply.
Job board and Feed
The Job board combines jobs posted on Yakka with listings gathered from other sources. The Feed shows quick posts from hirers; tapping Apply there opens WhatsApp with the person who posted it.
Stand out before you apply: add your tickets and licences, set your availability, and turn on job alerts for your trade.

FAQ
Can I filter jobs by distance?
Jobs are sorted by distance from you, closest first. You filter by trade and by city or suburb rather than by a set radius.
How do I know if I got the job?
Your application moves from Pending to Hired or Declined in the Applications list, and you are notified when the employer responds.
