Local jobseekers in Laidley, Queensland, have been offered new practical advice on how to stay motivated and manage their mental health during long periods of unemployment. Tursa Employment & Training published the guide on 15 February 2026 to help residents maintain a positive outlook while searching for work.
The guide focuses on creating a simple daily routine, which includes setting regular hours for job searching and having a dedicated workspace. It also encourages people to set small, achievable goals each day and celebrate minor successes to help the process feel more organised rather than overwhelming.
Beyond practical search tips, the advice reminds residents that a long job search does not reflect their personal worth and highlights the importance of staying connected with friends and support networks. It points readers toward additional resources from the Careerday blog and JobAccess for further mental health and professional guidance.
For those who prefer face-to-face help, TURSA operates a local office at Shop 2, 144 Patrick Street in Laidley. Staff at this location provide in-person support and can help locals access services through the Workforce Australia program to build confidence and find new employment opportunities.
