- Hold qualifications and a proven background in indigenous studies, social work, community development or a related field
- Demonstrated experience working in community engagement, relationship building, or advocacy roles with a focus on First Nations issues and populations.
- An excellent understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, including the ability to communicate effectively and respectfully, leveraging 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 the ability to develop and implement strategic plans, initiatives and projects.
