Live Two Remarkable Seasons. Lead Two Exceptional Kitchens.

Imagine building seasonal menus from the finest local produce in Victoria's food-rich High Country, then spending winter at one of Australia's most celebrated alpine destinations. This rare year-round Head Chef opportunity offers the ultimate blend of culinary creativity, lifestyle, and career development.

From spring through autumn, you'll call Elm Dining in Bright home, surrounded by an abundance of exceptional local ingredients sourced from one of Australia's most vibrant food regions. Combined with access to premium international suppliers, you'll have the freedom and resources to create memorable dining experiences that showcase your culinary vision.

When winter arrives, your stage shifts to the award-winning Astra Hotel & Restaurant in Falls Creek, named Australia's Best Boutique Hotel for 11 consecutive years. Here, you'll lead a passionate kitchen team while crafting elevated mountain dining experiences in the heart of Victoria's premier alpine destination. And yes, the ski slopes are just moments away when you're off duty.





Supported by an experienced leadership team and a strong year-round chef brigade, you'll have every opportunity to inspire, develop and elevate both your team and your own career.
