I moved from South Australia for a job opportunity in 2023. After 12 months in Tamworth my family relocated as well. We have found it a great region with so many opportunities – especially for our children with schooling, sport and music. Natasha

I moved to Tamworth from Sydney for a job opportunity with the intention of leaving after my 9-month contract. Now three years later, I am still here and have purchased my first house. I’ve taken up a permanent job in a new sector and love life in the country. Tamworth has so many wonderful events, places to eat and things to do. I don’t think I’ll ever leave! Georgia
