BWS has started the recruitment of 1400 team members for summer, and has launched a social media campaign featuring existing team members to attract candidates.

Be paid to be you’ and ‘Get a job with skills you will use’ are the main messages of the social media campaign, which include a number of existing team members using their Instagram platforms to show what working at BWS is really like.

The campaign also includes a range of tongue-in-cheek videos that portray skills able to be learnt on the job.

The echidna that made national headlines after it was caught breaking into a BWS in Kyogle, breaking bottles and slurping champagne last year is also starring in a video, prompting team members to be on the lookout for ‘suss’ behaviour; a nod to the responsible service of alcohol guidelines all BWS team members follow.

BWS Managing Director Scott Davidson said, BWS viewed its culture and values of being yourself and having fun as being among its strongest assets.

“We are getting creative this year to showcase our fun culture, and to entice more people to consider us for what may start as a casual summer job but can end up being a long, rewarding career,” said Davidson.

The majority of roles are casual Team Member positions and require no previous experience. BWS will provide the cost and training for RSA certification, which all in-store team members are required to have. To be successful, applicants need to be at least 18 years of age and be passionate about great customer service.

BWS has more than 1,400 stores across the country, and roles are available in all states and territories; 500 positions in VIC, 300 in QLD, 235 in NSW, 190 in WA, 70 in SA, 60 in NT, 30 in TAS and 14 in ACT.

Packaging News

The World Packaging Organisation has named 234 winners for the WorldStar Packaging Awards 2026, which were selected from 481 entries submitted across 36 countries.

ACOR is calling on the Government to urgently introduce packaging reforms or risk the collapse of Australia’s plastic recycling sector and face millions of tonnes of plastic waste polluting the environment.

As 2025 draws to a close, it is clear the packaging sector has undergone one of its most consequential years in over a decade. Consolidation at the top, restructuring in the middle, and bold innovation at the edges have reshaped the industry’s horizons. At the same time, regulators, brand owners and recyclers have inched closer to a new circular operating model, even as policy clarity remains elusive.
