- Work collaboratively with project partners, unions, service providers, and community leaders to amplify communication campaigns and ensure resources reach diverse communities
- Support the Project Coordinator and Community Organisers in delivering the overall communications and engagement strategies
- Monitor, evaluate, and report on communication activities, including media coverage, digital analytics, and campaign reach
- Actively participate in the national community of practice led by the Migrant Workers Centre, sharing Tasmanian perspectives and ensuring national collaboration informs local work
