Brisbane

Brisbane
Relaxed, friendly, vibrant and fun. Brisbane is a big
city with ‘small town’ attitude, where you can count on
the locals to show you a good time. Visit South Bank
or ’the Valley’; or head north for the beach, theme
parks (and crowds) of the Gold Coast. Brisbane is a
city made for enjoyment—as relaxed or party-filled as
you like it.

Melbourne
They say it’s Australia’s ‘cultural city’ and it’s
hard to disagree. Passionate sporting fanatics,
a strong café culture, theatre and arts that rival
the best in the world—when Melbournites embrace anything it’s with great gusto. Despite
the jokes about the weather, Melbourne has
been voted one of the most ‘liveable’ cities in
the world.

The thumping heart of OneSteel’s operations - where the outback meets the sea. A
place of contrasts, from leading edge mining
and steel production to the stark beauty of

hot and there’s no shortage of ways to cool
off—from kite-surfing after work to weekend
sailing, scuba diving or fishing. A friendly
community with all the conveniences you
could need. Join our other young OneSteel
