We're proud of our values – Be Real, We Are One, We Create, and We Own It – and we live them every day. When you join us, you'll be part of a team that values hard work, authenticity, and innovation, while delivering exceptional experiences for thousands of guests.

Now, we're looking for a Groundsperson (Turf Worker) to step into the action and help us keep our tracks, grounds, and facilities at the absolute top of their game.

  • Be part of the thrill of race days, moving running rails and preparing our surfaces for world-class competition.
  • Operate and maintain turf machinery with pride and precision.
  • Apply fertilisers and treatments to keep our turf healthy, safe, and race-ready.
  • Lend your green thumb to gardens, trees, and lawns across the property.
  • Keep our grounds clean, safe, and looking their best for every guest who walks through our gates.
What We're Looking For
  • A strong work ethic and the physical capacity for hands-on, high-energy work.
  • Team spirit – but also the initiative to work independently when needed.
  • Great communication and interpersonal skills – we're one team, and collaboration is key.
  • Experience in turf, grounds or labouring roles (qualifications a bonus, but not essential).
Why Join Morphettville?
  • Be part of something bigger – where your work directly contributes to unforgettable race days and major events.
  • Work in a modern, purpose-built facility with a supportive and passionate crew.
  • Penalty rates apply for weekend shifts.
  • A workplace that celebrates diversity, inclusion, and genuine teamwork.
