Perth, Western Australia Footprint Placements Full time

Would you love the opportunity to work and live in remote desert regions on Martu country? Are you able to demonstrate the commitment to working with a community development focus in a cross-cultural environment? A not-for-profit, benevolent organisation is looking for a Women and Families Program Coordinator to support Martu families in raising their children in Martu ways, through fostering strong identity, a deep sense of connection to the land and a basis for growing into their responsibilities as Martu members of society.


The Women and Families Program is for Martu families and communities to realise their aspirations for each generation of children to learn, grow and develop into confident Martu adults, who contribute to Martu society and have agency over their collective cultural, social and economic futures.

Martu want their children to grow up strong and healthy, and to acquire and maintain knowledge in both mainstream and Martu worlds.


The program supports families across five domains:
Martu culture, early years education, Martu employment, Martu leadership and health.


The program is part of a long-term strategy of building Two-Way learning at all ages from infancy, through preschool and all levels of schooling and to young adulthood.

You will plan and conduct early childhood activities, both on and off Country. You will empower Martu individuals, especially caregivers, to take the lead in developing and delivering the program.

You will work in partnership with a range of organisational programs as well as schools, health and other social services to providing support to caregivers and children in accessing necessary care, information, and services when needed.

Located on remote Martu lands, the area has significant conservation values globally, nationally and locally.

They are part of the most intact arid ecosystem anywhere in the world and provide one of the last wild havens for some of Australia's iconic but highly threatened desert species, including the _mankarr (_greater bilby), the _wiminyji _(northern quoll) and the _mulyamiji (_great desert skink).

The cultural and conservation values of Martu country are intertwined and rely on each other.

The landscape, water sources, habitats, fauna and flora of this country together comprise a cultural landscape in which Martu identity, beliefs, creation stories, sacred sites, cultural practices and traditional livelihoods are embedded.

This is a full-time permanent position, beginning asap.
- "It's good for the kids to learn their waterholes. We went out, and we saw a kalaru stone and our elder showed us a place and told us the Dreamtime story. We do this so the kids can learn. One day, these kids might know the stories. They might go hunting there. They will go there with their own families." _Martu parents
