Our Story
Born on the dusty roads of outback Australia, built for travellers and employers everywhere.
A Simple Idea on a Long, Empty Road
I'm Larry, and for the last 9+ years my wife Sue and I have been on the road in our caravan, living the nomadic lifestyle around Australia.
Out on those long remote roads, you can drive for hours without seeing another person. It got me thinking: how many farms and remote businesses have I passed where the owner could really use an extra pair of hands?
Instead, they're stuck working endless hours alone, or calling on cousin Bob... who might not actually be the right person for the job, but happens to be the only one available.
What If GPS Could Connect Them?
That's when the idea hit: what if there was a way for travellers with the right skills to connect with those remote employers, right when they're nearby?
A simple notification to say "hey, someone who can help just drove past."
And that's how Nomadic Worker was born.
This isn't your typical job site. It's built for people on the move—travellers, nomads, van-lifers, backpackers—and for the businesses and farmers who need flexible help when it matters most.
Not Just Australia. Not Just Farming.
While the original idea was sparked on remote Aussie roads, Nomadic Worker works anywhere in the world.
Farms & Stations
Remote farmers finding seasonal workers
Roadhouses
Service stations needing attendants
Healthcare
Hospitals finding visiting specialists
Trades
Local businesses needing skilled workers
Wherever there are people on the road with skills to offer, and businesses that need those skills nearby, Nomadic Worker can help make the connection.
How It Works: A Real Example
Meet Farmer Bob and Traveller Pete
Farmer Bob
A farmer in remote Australia. Closest neighbour is 200 km away. Works 18 hours a day doing it all himself. Desperately needs help.
Traveller Pete & Mary
A couple travelling in their caravan, exploring the outback. Pete has skills: truck driver & station hand.
Pete Creates His Profile
Pete installs Nomadic Worker and sets up his profile, listing his skills and choosing "Truck driver" and "Station hand" as jobs he's looking for.
Bob Posts What He Needs
Farmer Bob logs into Nomadic Worker as an employer. He sets a 200 km radius around his farm and states he's looking for a "Truck driver" and a "Bore runner".
The Magic Happens 🎯
Pete and Mary are casually driving around the countryside when Pete enters Farmer Bob's 200 km radius. Bob gets a notification that there's a potential truck driver passing through!
Bob Reaches Out
Bob checks Pete's profile, likes what he sees, and calls Pete directly. The connection is made. Bob gets the help he needs, Pete gets work while travelling. Everyone wins.
That's Nomadic Worker in a nutshell:
Bringing people together when they least expect it. ✨
