A study by the Regional Australia Institute showed childcare users in regional parts of the country have waited more than 12 months to access services. CEO Liz Ritchie said regional Australia suffers a gap in the provision of available childcare in many areas which is impacting regional workforce availability.

Access to childcare for regional Aussies continues to be an uphill battle according to Regional Australia Institute CEO Liz Ritchie

Episode 134 w/ Liz Ritchie of Relic Boas

Remote

With ongoing lockdowns and health concerns, the trend of working from home seems to be here to stay. And with that, many professionals in Australia, and indeed all around the world, are thinking of moving away from big cities, to the countryside. But are we over-romanticizing the prospect of moving, or is it a possibility that we can now seriously consider?    In this episode of The Job Hunting Podcast, I interviewed Liz Ritchie, the CEO of the Regional Australia Institute. For almost 20 years, Liz has worked across the corporate, government, and not-for-profit sectors, and we crossed paths when we both worked at Australia's renowned think tank CEDA (The Committee for Economic Development of Australia). Liz is a change agent, a marketer, and a great researcher, so I'm not at all surprised with the high quality reports the Regional Australia Institute is producing this year, which is aligned with Australians' sentiment: Should we be moving back to the country? If we are working remotely, why are we living in big cities, if we could be down at the coast, or in the mountains? Many of my friends are asking themselves that, and in social media, I see this trend is global. Marketing and innovation guru Tom Goodwin poked fun of the notion of moving away from New York on Twitter back in March, only to find himself buying a piece of land in an idyllic location in Georgia in July. Liz is an extremely passionate advocate for regional Australia, and I couldn't think of a better guest to discuss this important topic for job hunters and those who are planning the next steps in their career. Especially towards the end of our chat, we discuss many interesting statistics that I think will come to you as a surprise.   Prior to joining the RAI, Liz was the Regional General Manager for Westpac Commercial Bank, the State Director for CEDA, in Western Australia, and held a range of leadership roles with CEDA since 2008. In October 2018, Liz was appointed by The Hon David Littleproud MP, then Minister for Agriculture and Water Resources, as a non-government independent member of the Indonesian – Australia partnership on Food Security in the Red Meat and Cattle Sector (Partnership). She is also the founding Director of the Australian Gender Equality Council (AGEC) and remains a National Ambassador. In 2015, Liz was a Business News 40 Under 40 Winner in WA, recognized for her contribution to business and the community. She is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors, holds a Master of Applied Science (Organisational Dynamics) and a Bachelor of Public Relations form the RMIT.      Timestamps to guide your listening:  6:43 – chat about interests and how people in Australia are thinking of moving to the country 13:34 – Liz’s career story and background 26:51 – talks about affordability and over-all health advantage of country living 30:04 - Can people now start moving to country and not regret it? 36:55 – Is this a trend in other countries as well? 44:23 - Is there always an appetite from the local communities to welcome people coming in? 47:47 – Migrants and Regional Australia 54:32 – Employment availability in Regional Australia  I hope your questions have been answered in this interview. If not, feel free to comment or message me and I will gladly answer your queries. I'm planning to do another episode soon about moving to the country, as this seems to be a popular topic with requests.
