Employment

When Paddy ‘Austin’ Pallin started this business in 1930, he didn’t have much – just a love of the outdoors and a thirst for his next great adventure. Over his long life he enjoyed hundreds of these journeys with his family and his colleagues, and today that 90+ year tradition of shared experience is still the heartbeat of our business. 

Paddy Pallin is a growing, dynamic and iconic Australian retailer. The name Paddy Pallin certainly means many things to many people. For some it brings to mind the genial personality of one of Australia's pioneer bushwalkers. Others will recognise the name from the label of an old sleeping bag or rucksack that has given a generation of faithful service in the outdoors. For most people however, the name is associated with a group of specialist retail stores catering for travellers and outdoor enthusiasts.

Paddy Pallin is an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees. When job positions become available we will be recruiting customer centric team players who can demonstrate prior knowledge and passion in lightweight outdoor and travel activities and gear, and in assisting others to get the right gear and tips for their adventures.

Why work for us?

• Iconic heritage retailer that is third generation family owned.
• Surround yourself with colleagues and customers who share your passion for outdoor adventure.
• Work with our expertly curated range of products and leading brands.
• Very generous product discounts from us and our brands.
• Upskill with our expert-led in-store training programs to better your product, service, destination, and general retail knowledge.
• Share in Paddy Pallin’s legacy to conserve our natural environment through our Don’t Bag the Environment campaign, waste minimisation, and awareness of specific environmental issues.
• Access to our 4-day paid Volunteer leave program for full-time employees.
• Be acknowledged for your years of service and receive our Adventure Bonus Grant.
• Access to Paddy Pallin’s paid Parental leave.
