From Day one to today

Crown is home to more than great experiences. It’s where thousands build their careers.

With 29,400 jobs across Melbourne, Perth, and Sydney, Crown is Australia’s largest hospitality employer. In Perth alone, we support 8% of the state’s hospitality workforce.

We’re also shaping the future. One in ten hospitality graduates in our home states train at Crown College. In Perth, it’s more than one in five. These are the people delivering high-quality experiences, inside Crown and beyond.

Since 1985, Crown Perth has grown from Burswood Island Casino into a vibrant precinct and a workplace that thousands call home. From first shifts to long careers, our people have shaped Crown’s journey.

“I don’t feel like I’ve worked here 40 years. Time has flown. That’s how you know you enjoy what you do.”
- May wong

We’ve evolved with our cities. Diversified our teams. Expanded our spaces. But one thing remains: our commitment to creating a place where people belong, grow and thrive.

This is our story. Told through the voices of those who live it.
