Creating and Managing Events

The Events section lets you create and publish local workforce events directly from your Jobs Hub console. Events are automatically published to your Jobs Hub page and your linked Workin<location> site (if included).

Registrations, ticketing and payments are handled through Eventbrite, which is configured for you.


Before You Start

Your Eventbrite configuration is set up as part of your Jobs Hub creation. To confirm your configuration is active, select Configuration from the left-hand menu and check your Eventbrite connection status.

If your Eventbrite configuration is not connected, contact partnerships@workinitiatives.com.au before creating events.

Free vs Paid Events

Free events require no payment setup. Attendees register via Eventbrite at no cost.

Paid events require a price per ticket. Eventbrite processes payments directly.
When you sell tickets, add-ons, or accept donations, your attendees pay Eventbrite’s Ticketing Fees at checkout. If you want to change who pays the fees, you can do so directly in the Eventbrite account.


Creating an Event

  1. Log in to your console at partner.jobshub.com.au

  2. Select Events from the left-hand menu

  3. Select Add Event

  4. Complete the event details:

    • Event Title — clear and specific

    • Image — Required for engagement, less than 5MB and recommended size: 390px x 280px

    • Description — explain who the event is for, what attendees will get out of it, and any requirements

    • Event Type — select Workshop, Seminar, Networking, Conference, Online, or Others

    • Date and Time — include start and end time

      If it is an in-person event you will need to include:

    • Address — physical address for in-person events

    • Google Maps Location — find the maps link on Google

    • Other Platforms (optional) — share this event to your linked Workin<location> site

      If an online event, you will need to include:

    • Meeting Platform: Google Meeting, Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Others

    • Meeting URL: Obtain the meeting link from your meeting provider and include it here for registrations.

      Event Settings

    • Featured Event — toggle on to pin this event to a prominent position on your Jobs Hub page. Use this for high-priority events you want your community to see first

    • Publish from Events List — toggle on to make this event visible in your public events listing. Leave this off if you want to save the event as a draft before making it live

    • Event Type — Free or Paid
      If Paid, Standard Ticket Price (AUD) appears — enter the ticket price.

    • CTA Button Text — the label on the registration button your audience will see (e.g. Register Now, Book Your Spot, Apply Here). Keep it action-oriented and specific

      SEO Configuration

    • Meta Title — the title that appears in Google search results. Keep it under 60 characters and include your region name

    • Meta Description — a short summary for search results. Write 1–2 sentences describing the event and who it's for. Keep it under 155 characters

    • Keywords — words or phrases someone might search to find this event. Type each one and press Enter to add it

  5. Select Save Details and your Event will be LIVE.


Managing Registrations

Registrations are automatically pulled into your console. You do not need to log into Eventbrite to view them.

To view registrations:

  1. Go to Events

  2. Select the event

  3. Select the number of Registrations

From here you can view attendee names, contact details and registration status. You can export this list if needed.


Editing, Cancelling, Restoring an Event

To edit an event:

  1. Go to Events

  2. Select the event

  3. Select Edit, make your changes and select Save

Changes update on your Jobs Hub page and Workin<location> site automatically. If the date, time or location has changed, notify registrants directly using the contact details in your Registrations tab.

To cancel an event:

  1. Go to Events

  2. Select the three dots

  3. Select Cancel

Cancelling events will move this event from your console to Trashed. This also removes the event from your Jobs Hub page and Workin<location> site. If the event was paid, refunds are handled through Eventbrite's standard process. Notify registrants directly before cancelling.

Restoring an event:

You will find any cancelled events in Trashed, if you want to reinstate the event for any reason, you can restore this from the ellipsis. This will move your event from Trashed back to the events page in a draft state. You can make any amendments and publish again from this page.



Tips for Better Event Listings

  • Be specific with your title.

  • Write for your audience. Be clear about who the event is for: job seekers, employers, training providers, or all three.

  • Set a capacity. Even if your venue is large, a visible capacity creates urgency and improves registration quality.

  • Publish early. Events published at least two weeks out consistently attract more registrations than last-minute listings.

  • Post regularly. A consistent event calendar builds community trust and return visits.
