**About National Trust of Australia (Queensland)**
National Trust of Australia (Queensland) [NTAQ]) is membership-based, environmental charity which offers people the opportunity to feel connected to significant places, collections, and stories. NTAQ manages a diverse portfolio of heritage properties from Currumbin to Cooktown, which includes one of the Gold Coast’s most popular tourist destinations, Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary. As one of Queensland’s earliest nature-based tourist destinations, the Sanctuary is a physical embodiment of everything the NTAQ represents**:to conserve and advance our natural and cultural heritage for future generations.**

Your ability to see opportunities and anticipate trends will be critical in ensuring we remain competitive and forward-thinking in our approach.

As a confident communicator who builds strong relationships with internal stakeholders and external partners alike, your natural curiosity and proactive mindset will contribute to identifying new opportunities that enhance NTAQ’s impact and effectiveness.
