  • You will have a strong commitment to improving life for remote Aboriginal communities. You will have, or be able to build, strong relationships within the community.
  • You will also have, or be able to build, a detailed understanding of community, including its strengths and opportunities, and identify barriers to development. You will enjoy working in partnership with community members and organisations to develop solutions that are tailored to local needs.
  • You will have strong communication skills, both in your local language and in English.

  • You must be able to work independently (without supervision), as well as enjoy working in a team.
  • You will be able to recognise risks to community and to government, and know when to tell your manager about these risks.

Please note, for Galiwin’ku based roles, it is desirable to speak and understand the local language of Yolngu Matha. 

A working with Vulnerable People clearance and pre-employment screening check is also needed ahead of starting in the role. 

Please note that housing will not be provided for the successful candidate. Housing (rental and purchase) is limited in remote communities, and so candidates not currently living in the community should be aware that relocation may not be possible.
