Coffs Coast
If you are an essential worker who is thinking about moving or has moved in the past 12 months to the Coffs Coast, please register here!
The Welcome Experience Coffs Coast is a free service supporting essential workers (and their families) who are considering applying for or have accepted a job in the Coffs Harbour LGA or Bellingen Shire. Boambee East Community Centre (BECC) is providing The Welcome Experience on behalf of the NSW Government for the Coffs Coast. As an integral part of our local community for more than 20 years, we are ideally placed to help you and any family members you are moving with connect to community when you arrive in our beautiful part of the world.
Local Connectors can help you with the life stuff, everything from the practicalities of finding housing, choosing childcare, exploring job opportunities for partners or even introducing you to your neighbours!
