The Indigenous Service Officer role on offer in the State Office is a unique and exciting opportunity to shape and influence policy, generate insights, and to inspire the capabilities and mindsets needed to strengthen a partnership approach to our work.

- Demonstrate an understanding of metro and regional Western Australia in a First nations context and develop strong stakeholder relationships and gather intelligence to influence policy direction and identify potential place-based servicing options.
