Melbourne, Australia Royal Botanic Gardens Board Full time

Location: Melbourne | Eastern Metropolitan

Job type: Casual

Organisation: Royal Botanic Gardens Board

**Salary**: $64,324 - $71,061

Occupation: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander services

Reference: VG/421977_B

For 175 years, Royal Botanic Gardens Victoria has connected people with nature: originally at a heritage-listed landscape in the heart of Melbourne and, more recently, with the addition of a contemporary native garden set within a natural bushland reserve at Cranbourne. These sites are home to extraordinary landscapes, innovative public programming and world-leading plant science, horticultural science and conservation research. Beyond their physical beauty, the Gardens also contribute to global and local biodiversity knowledge through research, discovery, protection, cultivation and restoration of rare and threatened plant species, both ex-situ and in the bushland, and as the insurance policy for a state’s unique flora bushfire recovery. It is also dedicated to stimulating conservation action and contributing to climate resilience, lifelong learning and unique memories for all visitors.
