Do you mean “UGC” as in user‑generated content (content creator / moderator) roles, or a company named “UGC” in Australia? I’ll cover both so you can pick what’s useful.
Quick summary / highlights
- If you want freelance or staff roles making UGC (short videos, Reels/TikToks, photos, or moderating community content), there are many short‑term gigs and permanent marketing roles across Australia — common places to find them are Upwork, Freelancer, SEEK, LinkedIn and specialist platforms/agencies. Examples of active UGC creator gigs on freelance marketplaces show rates often in the US$50–$100+ per video or hourly project listings. (upwork.com)
- “UGC Group” is an Australian landscape/environmental company that advertises jobs and expressions of interest on its careers page (environmental/field roles, project management). SEEK also lists multiple “UGC”‑related jobs (including an Environmental Field Technician at UGC Group with a salary range shown). (ugcgroup.com.au)
- Large employers also hire for roles that include “UGC” in the title (example: “Program Manager, Geo UGC” listed in Sydney on SEEK), so full‑time opportunities exist in corporate/product teams as well as freelance creator gigs. (seek.com.au)
Where to search right now (Australia)
- Job boards (for staff/FT/contract positions): SEEK, Indeed, LinkedIn. Use searches: “UGC”, “User‑Generated Content”, “UGC creator”, “content creator”, “UGC moderator”, “community moderator”. (seek.com.au)
- Freelance platforms (short gigs and one‑off paid videos): Upwork, Freelancer, Fiverr — you’ll find many UGC creator posts where briefs and pay are listed. (upwork.com)
- Niche/local creator agencies / platforms: look up Australian services that connect everyday creators with brands (example coverage of Creatoroo and how Australians earn with UGC). These can be easier entry points if you don’t have a big social following. (news.com.au)
Examples I found (you can open these on SEEK / Upwork)
- UGC creator gigs on Upwork (paid per short video; example posts with $50–$100 per video). (upwork.com)
- UGC Group (careers / expressions of interest for landscape & environmental roles). (ugcgroup.com.au)
- SEEK search results for “ugc” showing ~19 results and listings including an Environmental Field Technician at UGC Group ($75k–$85k) and a corporate role “Program Manager, Geo UGC” in Sydney. (seek.com.au)
Practical tips to get UGC work in Australia
- Build 3–6 quick sample videos: selfie‑style, 10–30 seconds, follow TikTok/Reels aspect ratios. Clients often want authentic, “organic” style clips. Share them as unlisted links or short MP4s. (upwork.com)
- Apply to both freelance gigs and agency lists — agencies often brief many creators and feed steady work; freelance platforms are better for one‑off high‑volume projects. (news.com.au)
- For moderation/community roles, highlight attention to policy, speed, and use of moderation tools; for creator roles, highlight on‑camera confidence and ability to follow a brief. (freelancer.com.au)
- Typical pay: small one‑off videos often pay US$50–US$200 each on marketplaces; some creators earn hundreds per month to much more if they supply high volumes or work with many brands. Agency or corporate salaries vary widely (freelance vs FT staff). (Examples above show per‑video gigs and reported earnings ranges.) (upwork.com)
If you want, I can:
- Search current live listings for a specific city in Australia (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, etc.) and return 5–10 active openings (I’ll include direct job links).
- Draft a short pitch + example message you can send to agencies/clients, and a 30–60 second UGC script template you can use for auditions.
