Ask HN: Any admin / office jobs near Brisbane, QLD? Desperate

Hi everyone

Due to unfortunate circumstances, my parents are unemployed and about to lose their home - they are both very well educated (both have doctorates) and hard-working, but getting jobs is often more about who you know than what you know, and my parents don't know many people at all. They are two of the loveliest people you could ever know, and I am desperate to help them. They would be happy to do anything, including admin or office work.

    Sorry to hear that; that's terrible :-(

    I'm from Brisbane, but am currently overseas (I'm going home soon!). My only contact who could (maybe) hire someone has just left the country for a few weeks.

    What experience do they have? What are their doctorates in? Where in Brisbane are they?
