- An excellent understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures including the ability to communicate effectively and respectfully.
- An ability to leverage lived experiences to effectively guide and shape cultural capability, design and delivery of programs and initiatives.
- Strong skills in handling and influencing diverse stakeholder relationships, coupled with superior research analysis and report writing capabilities.
