About Us
Village Roadshow began from humble beginnings in Melbourne in 1954, when Roc Kirby opened a drive-in cinema. What started as a single screen under the stars has grown into a powerhouse of entertainment, creating unforgettable experiences for millions across Australia and beyond.
Today, our world spans cinema exhibition, film distribution, theme parks, and sports entertainment, all driven by one mission: to bring joy, excitement, and connection to every guest, every time.
Brendon
Wildlife Keeper | Paradise Country
I started my Certificate III in Wildlife in 2025 as an intern at Paradise Country. I was lucky enough to be given the opportunity to gain hands-on experience and learn from some great keepers. Since then, I’ve worked my way into my first role in wildlife care, which I’m really proud of. Now I get to work my dream job every day, alongside a supportive team, doing what I genuinely love and that’s something I’ll never take for granted.
Kym
Rides Mechanical Tradesperson | Movie World
I have worked with VRTP for 13 years, commencing with the grounds department before being offered a mature aged apprenticeship within the Technical Services ride maintenance team. I have found VRTP to be a brilliant employer that has prioritised safety and a positive work culture, providing support for team members within all departments, on all levels. I recommend VRTP as a positive place to work where opportunities are provided and supported, and team members are given the resources to progress and succeed in all areas. In recognition of my journey and contribution, I was proud to be named 2024 Team Member of the Year for Movie World.

I began my journey with VRTP in 2010 as a School-based Trainee and have progressed through the Attractions Department. Today, I'm proud to serve as the Group Attractions Training Coordinator for Movie World and Sea World. VRTP has played a huge part in shaping both my professional and personal growth.

Kayne
Lifeguard | Wet’n’Wild
I started as a Lifeguard at Wet’n’Wild in 2019 and have since had the opportunity to progress through a range of roles, including Slides Inspector, Aquatic Skills Coach, FlowRider Instructor and Area Coordinator. I’m now a senior in these positions and also train new Slides Inspectors, Area Coordinators and Aquatic Skills Coaches.
My favourite part about working here is the variety, every day brings a different role, different slides to work on, and the chance to meet new people. I’ve also had the opportunity to meet hundreds of new lifeguards and make lifelong friendships with energetic, outgoing people who share the same passion for the job.
Kate
Assistant Operations Manager | Sea World
I’ve been part of the Sea World team for 12 years and, during that time, have worn many different hats within the Operations Department, from lifeguarding and cleaning to operating rides.
I love that every day is different and brings new challenges. I also get to work alongside a wonderful team who continually adapt to whatever comes their way. One of my favourite parts of the role is being able to walk through the park, feel the salt air, and see our incredible marine animals up close.
Barbara
Bay Host Shift Lead | Topgolf
I’ve been part of the Topgolf Gold Coast team for 8 years and was lucky enough to be part of the opening crew. I love my job because it gives me a real sense of purpose and aligns strongly with my personal values. Even on the most challenging days, I’m able to keep a positive attitude, but most of all, it’s FUN!
Griffin
Team Lead | Topgolf
Topgolf is a wonderful place to work as our core values aren't just words on a wall, they're reflected through our team's culture on display every shift. I am so proud to be part of a group full of enthusiastic and driven individuals in a workplace where everyone feels supported, empowered and excited to clock into work each day!
Tim
National Technical Manager (Exhibition) | Village Cinemas
I started as a frontline team member in 2004 and am now the National Technical Manager. With the support of my team, I’m responsible for ensuring movies play seamlessly every day across our entire cinema network.
While I’ve held roles in Sustainability and Safety, I’m a technologist at heart and always find myself drawn back to the IT and projection infrastructure that delivers world‑class movie magic. I’m proud to work for a company that is globally renowned for innovation, and I love the intrinsic satisfaction that comes from delivering unforgettable experiences for our guests.
Ashleigh
Duty Manager | Sea World Resort
I’ve been part of the Sea World Resort team for 6.5 years, growing from a part-time Guest Service Agent to a full-time Duty Manager, and I’m so proud of the journey along the way. We work in paradise right along the beautiful Broadwater, and with many training opportunities to grow and the chance to make a genuine impact on our guests’ holidays every single day, where else would you rather work?
