Watch the full interview: Abbey RFDS
For Abbey, building a career in the Dubbo Region wasn’t just about finding a job - it was about finding an opportunity to grow, contribute and stay connected to her community.
As part of a region on the rise, Abbey represents the next generation of local talent helping to shape the Dubbo Region’s future. With access to expanding industries, new training pathways and growing investment across sectors, she has been able to pursue meaningful work without leaving the place she calls home.
“The opportunities here keep growing,” Abbey said. “You don’t have to move away anymore to build a great career.”
Abbey’s journey reflects the broader transformation happening across the region - where education, industry and local partnerships are creating clear pathways from learning to employment.
Through initiatives that support skills development and workforce growth, residents like Abbey are gaining the confidence and capability to step into roles that didn’t exist locally just a few years ago.
Her story highlights how investment in people is just as important as investment in infrastructure. As new industries emerge and existing ones expand, it’s local people who are driving that momentum forward.
“I feel like I’m part of something bigger,” she said. “The region is growing, and I’m growing with it.”
Abbey’s experience is a powerful example of what Region on the Rise is all about - creating opportunities, supporting careers, and building a strong, sustainable future for the Dubbo Region.
