In a world of cookie cutter experiences, here at EVT we believe in changing the game. It's why we all call ourselves Daymakers, because each day is a chance to add the wow factor for our customers and continually grow in our own careers.

QT is bold, playful and a little unexpected, blending art, fashion and design into a hotel experience that doesn't take itself too seriously.

EVT has an endless range of roles and career paths to explore across over 140 entertainment experiences like Event Cinemas and Moonlight Cinemas, 150 award winning restaurants and bars, and 80+ hotels, including QT, Rydges, Atura, LyLo, Independent Collection and Australia's most loved year round alpine resort, Thredbo. Once you're in, there's no limit on where your career could take you.
