From serving the nation to serving your community – Queanbeyan-Palerang Regional Council (QPRC) is helping veterans build meaningful second careers in local government. As one of the first councils to join the NSW Government’s Local Government Veterans Employment Program, QPRC is proud to support veterans as they transition into civilian roles. Backed by strong partnerships and practical support, QPRC is showing how local government can be a natural next step after Defence. We spoke with Bryce O'Hara, Acting Coordinator – Human Resources & Organisational Development, about why this work matters and how councils can be powerful allies in supporting veterans. 📖 Read the full blog: https://lnkd.in/gdHehb_T #careersatcouncil #qprc #nswgovernment #veterans #councilspotlight #serveyourcommunity #blog #councilinsights #transferableskills #nextstep #careerpathways #meaningfulwork #careerswithpurpose

💭 In our recent poll, we asked: Do you feel your current job has a positive impact on others? Here’s what you told us: ✅ Absolutely – 50% ✅ Somewhat – 28% ❌ Not really – 20% 🤔 I’m not sure – 2% That means 1 in 5 people feel their work doesn’t make a difference or aren’t sure. Sometimes, the impact we make isn’t immediately obvious. It might be hidden in the systems we support, the people we serve, or the outcomes we help enable. But if you’ve looked, and still can’t find that sense of purpose, maybe it’s time to try something new. A career at council offers the chance to make a tangible difference every day – with every role helping to shape a stronger community. 🧭 Want your work to mean more?
