**Who are we**:
With the enactment of the Water Act 2007 (Cth), the Murray-Darling Basin Authority (MDBA) was established as an independent expertise-based statutory agency.

For the first time in the Basin's history, one Basin-wide institution is responsible for planning the Basin's water resources, with all planning decisions made in the interest of the Basin as a whole.

Our most important work is to:

- measure, monitor and record the quality and quantity of the Basin's water resources
- supporting, encourage and conduct research and investigations about the Basin's water resources and dependent ecosystems
- advise the Australian Government Minister responsible for water on the accreditation of state water resource plans
- provide water rights information to facilitate water trading across the Basin
- engage and educate the Australian community about the Basin's water resources.

**Who are we looking for**:
The Communications and Change Manager will:

- Navigate complex change programs and projects, with changes involving multiple stakeholders spanning executive sponsors, senior leaders as well as impacted groups across and external to the MDBA
- Develop tailored, fit-for-purpose change management plans and implement strategies for enterprise-wide change initiatives
- Develop and deliver effective engagement and communication products
- Actively consult and engage with executive sponsors and leaders to identify and mitigate potential people risks for change
- Develop a sound understanding of MDBA’s digital transformation goals and lead communication activities to provide strategic change management advice to program leads
- Influence and persuade Business Unit leaders and influencers to recognise the need for change in initiating innovative solutions/proposals and liaise with, and influence, related professions to develop practices, which support the Business Unit
- Ensure all change activities are completed within set timeframes, and quality requirements are maintained by status monitoring and regular reporting to appropriate governance levels

**Our benefits**:
Relocation packages are available, and we are committed to a flexible and inclusive workplace that will suit you and your individual needs. Joining us means you will contribute your expertise as part of an agile working environment that offers an attractive salary package, including up to 15.4% superannuation. You will also be eligible to receive a wide range of employee benefits, support for flexible working arrangements and have excellent working conditions. We support the professional development of our people, and the chance to try new things across our variety of capabilities and work locations.
