Principal Policy Officer-yoorrook Justice Commission
2 weeks ago
Yoorrook Justice Commission is the first formal truth-telling process into injustices experienced by First Peoples in Victoria. Yoorrook has been established as an independent Royal Commission under the Inquiries Act 2014. See here the Letters Patent that set out Yoorrook's mandate.
The Principal Policy Officer is a senior role within Yoorrook's Legal, Policy and Research team will be the team's project lead for the land justice workstream.
With extensive senior experience in First Peoples justice issues and specifically land justice issues (including native title and traditional owner settlement legislation), you will provide strategic policy advice to the Commissioners and the Executive on land justice and other inquiry issues; lead the drafting of Land Justice Issues Papers and final report content and develop options to support Yoorrook's recommendations for systemic reform.
This is a fixed-term role until 31 December 2024. The Yoorrook Justice Commission will run until June 2025 after being granted a 12-month extension by the Victorian government. The final six months of Yoorrook's operations will aim to ensure that the stories and truths shared by First Peoples are not only recorded but understood by all Victorians.

You must have prior experience in delivering projects under time pressure in a complex and sensitive environment.
You will be outcomes focused, an exceptional writer and communicator; someone who thrives on a challenge and is passionate about truth and justice for First Peoples in Victoria.
