Oz Downunder Competitors

Welcome to Australia Zoo - Home of the Crocodile Hunter! A team of passionate conservationists work tirelessly to deliver an animal experience like no other. Cuddle a koala, hand-feed a kangaroo, walk with a Sumatran tiger and watch a crocodile strike from the water’s edge – but that’s just the beginning! Australia Zoo is the ultimate wildlife adventure, delivering conservation through exciting education. Starting out as a small family business, the expansion of Australia Zoo has seen the Irwin family employing hundreds of energetic people with a variety of skills. With thousands of visitors from all over the world passing through the gates daily, all team members understand the importance of making a lasting impression to our patrons. Australia Zoo employees love animals and conservation, have an exceptional attitude towards work and of course, wear the world famous khaki uniforms with pride! You just have to walk around the Zoo to feel the electricity in the air. The atmosphere creates an exciting experience for all visitors and a dream workplace environment for all employees.

Surfing Australia is a National Sporting Organisation that was formed in 1963 to establish, guide and promote the development of surfing in Australia. Surfing Australia is the representative body on the International Surfing Association (ISA) of which there are 86 member countries and is recognised by the Australian Sports Commission, the Australian Olympic Committee and is a member of the Water Safety Council of Australia. Surfing is not just a sport, it’s one of the most desirable lifestyles in the world. With 85% of Australians living less than 50km from the coast it’s accessible to most people, and once learnt it’s a skill for life. There is momentum behind the sport in Australia from grass-roots community and participation, through the surfing events pathway, to our world-class elite athletes. Surfing’s inclusion at the Tokyo Olympics is testament to the groundswell of support of the sport globally. Our purpose is to create a healthier and happier Australia by enriching communities through surfing. Our vision is to continue to be one of Australia’s most loved sports, creating authentic heroes and champions to inspire the next generation to learn a skill for life.
