They will also be involved in identification of potential funding opportunities and preparation of relevant applications and proposals. Working closely with the APPF General Manager Operations, the Senior Business Administrator will ensure the facility meets its contractual obligations under NCRIS, prepares budgets and financial reports, progress and performance reports, and contributes to ad hoc requests from the Australian Government's Department of Education and Training, as well as contributing to funding opportunities and high-level policy documents.
