Do I need to live in Australia to work as a typing contractor for Pacific Transcription?

No.  Pacific is an internet-enabled business that retains contractors in many locations.  The obligation is upon each contractor to ensure that contracting to Pacific does not contravene legislation of the country in which they reside.  

We particularly encourage Australian/NZ/UK typists who are living overseas (either permanently or temporarily) to apply.

We will also consider typists from other countries on a case by case basis.
