Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Chisholm Institute of TAFE Full time

Transforming lives through education requires a deep understanding of the communities we serve. At Chisholm Institute of TAFE, we are committed to providing culturally inclusive resources and programs that respect the value of Aboriginal culture.

About the Role

The Koorie Liaison Team Leader is a key position responsible for designing, implementing, and reviewing Koorie Liaison unit services and programs. This includes student support models, curriculum input, institute guidance, and community liaison and engagement.

This role leads the development, delivery, and review of the Koorie Student Support Program, aiming to provide holistic, wrap-around support to Koorie students from pre-enrolment through to graduation. The program engages students through individual support, workshops, group sessions, events, and activities that connect Koorie students with outside Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities.

The position provides advice and guidance to the institute to strengthen its capacity to provide culturally inclusive resources and programs. It also contributes to Chisholm's Strategic Plan 2025-2029 in partnership with senior stakeholders.

  • Comprehensive knowledge of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander culture is essential, as well as established connections with local communities and businesses.
  • You must have a critical understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander protocols and be able to consult, negotiate, and communicate effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander councils, elders, and communities.

We are looking for someone who can lead teams and stakeholders in delivering wellbeing programs and initiatives. Experience leveraging multidisciplinary supports to deliver student engagement and retention is highly valued.
