Community engagement officers also spend time out of the office meeting with external stakeholders. Travel may be required. You can find work as a community engagement officer all around Australia. Most jobs are in cities and towns. Some are in remote areas.

Community engagement officers usually have qualifications in marketing, event management, social work or fundraising. Our industry values diverse personal and work experience. Many employers can provide you with opportunities to gain new qualifications and industry experience to help you succeed.

Salaries may vary outside of these ranges, based on company size and location, level of experience, competence and time in role.
