First, the thing people get wrong

Wodonga is the Victorian half of the Albury Wodonga twin city, split from Albury by the Murray River and the Lincoln Causeway. High Street was rebuilt as Junction Place after the freight line was moved out of the middle of town. Logistics, the Bandiana army base, food manufacturing and health carry the local economy, and most trades here hold licences on both sides of the border.

Wodonga is in Victoria, postcode 3690, and 6 of the towns people here use day to day are in New South Wales. That is why this matters more in Wodonga than it does most places: the state a job is done in decides which trade licence applies, which public holiday calendar sets the penalty rate, and which regulator hears a complaint.

If you are hiring anyone, the border check tells you which state's rules apply to an address, and the licence check opens the right register.

The shape of the place

Wodonga is the town the surrounding district drives into, not the other way round. These are the facts that decide who you ring and where you go, rather than the ones a tourism page leads with.

What is actually based in Wodonga

Not businesses that cover Wodonga from somewhere else — these have an address here. For a small town this is the part worth knowing, because it is the difference between a trade you can walk to and one you wait a week for.

When something breaks

Trades with a yard or an office in Wodonga. Every listing shows where its details came from and when they were last read.

Before you pay a deposit. Ask which licence they are working under for your job and check it. It takes a minute on the licence check, and on this border the licence that counts is the one for the state the work is in, not the state the business is registered in.
