Speaking of Sydney, are there many tech companies that allow remote work in Australia? (I'm a software developer, primarily .NET but also C++ and embedded firmware FWIW).

Are there any job sites / directories specifically for finding remote-work jobs?

As a fellow Aussie I'd love to work remotely, but I don't necessarily want to work for an overseas company, for example.

If theres one country in the world that needs to embrace remote work its Australia.

We seriously need to move away from tech companies only setting up base in Sydney and Melbourne and in turn, killing other cities and making us all live in ridiculously overpriced apartments so we don't have to commute for hours per day.

I would love to live in a more rural area one day but this is just never going to happen while I work in tech.

I have been doing remote from Sydney for the past 9 years. Not sure about sites or directories (maybe try Stack Exchange jobs)

As sad as it is, I think it is significantly easier to find a US or Europe based company to work for from Sydney than an Australian based company.

All the friends I have that work remote are doing so for US based companies (GitHub, Docker and me at Discourse)

Sydney based companies in usually will only offer you a day or two from home and even that is often pushing it.

No idea, I'm not in a position where I will be able to work from home regularly so I haven't looked into it.

Even the better tech companies (e.g. Atlassian) aren't keen on WFH.

Envato have a pretty liberal remote policy.
