Benefits For Employees

At Mount Isa City Council, we value our employees and believe in helping them be their best, be it at work or in life.

We want you to be able to work to live, rather than just “live to work”, and recognise the importance of a healthy work/life balance. Achieving balance in your life is vital to being a productive and happy employee. That’s why we have a range of benefits available to our employees:
