About the Area

The Media & Public Relations Unit is at the heart of building trust, connection and pride in UOW. Part of the Advancement and Communications Division, the team amplifies UOW's reputation by connecting journalists with world-class experts, generating influential coverage, and showcasing the university's contributions to society.

  • Provide expert coaching and guidance to spokespeople, helping them shine in high-profile settings.
  • Contribute directly to UOW's Vision 2035 and Strategic Plan 2030, ensuring a strong, unified voice across all media channels.

This is your chance to play a pivotal role in lifting UOW's reputation nationally and globally. If you're energetic, well-connected, and ready to drive meaningful media impact, we want you on our team.
