Jobs Blitz! Amazon Australia announces 1,800 seasonal jobs ahead of Christmas shopping season and Prime Big Deal Days
~ 1,800 seasonal roles available across Australian fulfilments and logistics sites
~ Amazon Flex delivery partner opportunities also available nationwide
17 September 2025 - Amazon Australia plans to onboard 1,800 seasonal workers across its Australian fulfilment centres and logistics sites ahead of the holiday season, which kicks off on October 7 with its Prime member exclusive sale event, Prime Big Deal Days.
Prime Big Deal Days marks the first event on the Christmas sales calendar, ahead of Black Friday in November, and is a celebration of Prime membership. This year Prime Big Deal Days will run for longer than ever before, with 7 whole days of deals kicking off just after midnight, 00:01 AM on Tuesday October 7 and wrapping up at 11:59 PM on Monday October 13.
To assist with Prime Big Deal Days and other major sales like Black Friday, Amazon is searching for enthusiastic people to help pick, pack and ship customer orders, ensuring shoppers receive their deliveries on time, ahead of the holidays.
Amazon’s seasonal roles are across all of its Australian fulfilment centres and logistics sites, with applications now open in Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Brisbane, Adelaide, Newcastle, Gold Coast, Gosford and Geelong, and no previous experience is required.
Michelle Theophilou, Senior HR Manager, Amazon Australia said, “There is no previous experience required as we provide on-the-job training, so we are just looking for enthusiastic people to sign up for a seasonal role. These roles are a great way to gain experience, learn new skills and even kick-start a long-term career at Amazon.”
“Whether you’re a university student looking to earn during study breaks, a retiree eager to stay connected or anyone in between, these roles offer a rewarding way to earn some money in a positive and safe environment.”
Seasonal roles can open the door to permanent employment opportunities at Amazon Australia. Permanent positions offer employee benefits including free life insurance and subsidised health insurance for the entire family.
Alongside the 1,800 seasonal workers that Amazon Australia will onboard from today, the company has created and onboarded more than 1,500 permanent roles this year across its operational network.
Amazon Associate Rajeshwar Singh started off as a seasonal worker over the festive season in 2023, before he accepted a full-time position at Amazon’s Robotic Fulfilment Centre.
Rajeshwar said, “When I first started working at the Amazon Robotics Fulfilment Centre, I felt like I’d stepped into the future – and my journey since then has been incredible. Starting as a seasonal hire, I quickly moved up to become a problem solver and now I’m proud to be leading a team of 30 to 50 people on my own. The support I’ve received here has been amazing, from the flexible schedule that lets me spend quality time with my young family to the managers who’ve helped me grow in my career, and that’s why I’d encourage anyone looking for their next opportunity to join us.”
Applications are now open at amazon.com/australiajobs. Don’t miss the chance to be part of something big!
For those looking to earn extra money in their spare time, there are also opportunities available with Amazon Flex, delivering packages to Amazon customers. For people who want to supplement their existing income this festive season, they can sign up to Amazon Flex to deliver Amazon packages to customers using their own vehicle. Amazon Flex allows individuals to deliver when it suits them and earn extra money in their free time.
