Overview

If you're passionate about conserving Queensland's parks, forests, and wildlife, and want 'the great outdoors' to be your office, then we want to hear from you

As a Ranger, you'll have the opportunity to choose various career paths across Queensland, with some of the most stunning landscapes as your 'office,' including the outback, rainforests, mountains, reefs, and coastal islands.

Embark on a career as a Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service and Partnerships (QPWS&P) Ranger, helping conserve Queensland\'s protected areas and biodiversity, with a strong focus on respecting First Nations peoples\' cultural values. QPWS&P Indigenous Employment - Stronger Together

Indigenous Rangers play a vital role in land and sea management, keeping connection to Country and culture strong by combining traditional and western knowledge for future generations.
