Working at Spendthrift
LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION
Spendthrift Australia is deep in the heart of the Macedon Ranges, in the beautiful heritage district of Romsey. The farm is less than an hour north of Melbourne, located in a region famous for its nature, history and cellar doors. There is a food festival every November and a gin distillery down the road, while farmers’ markets and wineries bring visitors year-round.


THE FARM
You’ll find us along Mount Eliza Road, 600 acres of grazing in the best horse-country Victoria has to offer. We have up to 120 horses on property throughout the year, of which there are currently five stallions through the breeding months and 50 mares foaling-down. In operation since as recently as 2015, the farm is constantly investing in its future and improving its infrastructure, with positive impacts on both local business and community. It’s an uplifting place to work. We boast high staff-retention, with positions available on a permanent and seasonal basis. And we’re told that our awesomeness is pretty high, too!
SPENDTHRIFT PERKS
Job satisfaction is important to us here at Spendthrift - that’s just one reason we have some of the best staff retention rates in the industry. We have an enjoyable working environment with beautiful surrounds, excellent staff and some of the most exciting bloodstock in Australia.
But there’s more! We are a global company, with the parent farm located just outside Lexington, Kentucky. This provides potential for international career exposure, enjoying the experience of travelling and working in two locations.
In 2018, we embarked on a partnership with Werribee Racing Club, giving us naming rights to Werribee racecourse. Spendthrift Australia Park is an hour’s drive south of the farm, and a fun day-out for the team.
