Warehouse jobs in Australia go by many names: storeperson, pick packer, warehouse operator, distribution centre team member. Day, night and weekend shifts are common, and many entry roles train you on the job. Start with these places to search.
Search SEEK Using Every Warehouse Job Title
Employers describe the same work differently, so run separate SEEK searches for "storeperson", "pick packer", "warehouse operator" and "distribution centre". Then filter by work type and location.
- Casual, part time or full time under More options
- Save each search as a Job Alert
- List scanner, forklift and stocktake experience first
Apply Direct to Supermarket and Logistics Distribution Centres
Woolworths Group lists warehouse and distribution roles on its careers site, and Amazon's Australian operations page describes warehouse roles picking, packing and shipping orders with day and night shifts.
- Amazon says no qualifications are needed
- Some Amazon roles go through agency partners
- Join talent communities for new openings
Use Indeed to Find Shifts That Fit Your Week
Indeed lets you add the shift pattern to your search, for example "night shift warehouse" or "weekend storeperson", and search by suburb or postcode.
- Separate alerts for day and night shifts
- Look for LF licence mentions if you hold one
- Check lifting requirements in each ad
Find Junior and No-Experience Roles on Jora
Jora gathers ads from many sites, and searches such as "junior warehouse assistant" often surface roles marked no experience required.
- Set a radius around home
- Free email alerts with or without an account
- Quick Apply on some ads
Search Workforce Australia for Local Warehouse Work
The government's free job board shows warehouse ads from registered businesses, including in regional areas. Use the industry, work type and job age filters.
- Sign in through myGov
- Job alerts and saved ads
- Free resumé help if you are new to the work
Get Your Forklift Licence to Widen Your Options
Many warehouse ads ask for a forklift licence. Training through a registered training organisation leads to a high risk work licence that opens up operator roles.
- Class LF covers standard forklifts
- Class LO covers order-picking forklifts
- Licences are issued by state regulators
Frequently asked questions
Do I need experience for warehouse work?
Not always. Many picker, packer and junior warehouse assistant roles say no experience is required, and Amazon's Australian operations page says no qualifications or work experience are necessary for its warehouse roles.
What tickets help in a warehouse?
A high risk work licence for forklifts (class LF, or LO for order pickers) is the most useful. Experience with RF scanners and a driver licence for getting to early or late shifts also help.
How much do warehouse jobs pay?
Pay varies by employer, award, shift and region, with night and weekend work often attracting penalty rates under awards. The Fair Work Ombudsman's pay tools show award minimums.
Is a warehouse job that asks for an upfront fee genuine?
No. Never pay a fee to apply, to buy safety gear before you are hired or to secure shifts.
