Perth, Western Australia Ngaanyatjarra Council Group Full time

Relief Municipal Services Officer (MSO): 6-Month Fixed-Term Contract (Possibility to Extend)

Location: Warburton & Ngaanyatjarra Lands, Remote WA

If you're ready to step into a hands-on, flexible role and make a real difference in remote Aboriginal communities, this is the opportunity for you

Welcome to the Ngaanyatjarra Lands – a vibrant tapestry of culture and community in the heart of the Australian desert. Home to around 2,000 Yarnangu (Ngaanyatjarra people) across 11 communities, our Council is committed to preserving culture and providing essential services across the Central Desert.

About Ngaanyatjarra Council

The Ngaanyatjarra Lands are managed by the Ngaanyatjarra Council Group, a wholly community-led entity that represents the interests of Traditional Owners (Yarnangu) who reside in the communities of Warburton, Irrunytju (Wingellina), Papulankutja (Blackstone), Mantamaru (Jameson), Warakurna, Tjirrkarli, Tjukurla, Wanarn, Kiwirrkurra, Patjarr and Pira Kata (Kanpa). Each of the Communities is an autonomous, separately incorporated body. Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime) is central to life in the Ngaanyatjarra Lands with Yarnangu having an unbroken connection to Tjukurrpa for more than 65,000 years.

Established in 1981, the Ngaanyatjarra Council Group (NCG) represents the interests of the Ngaanyatjarra People across the 11 communities in the Central Desert region of Western Australia. Employing in excess of 450 people, NCG provides a wide range of services, including health, utilities, construction, employment, community development, shops, roadhouses, art centres and land services. It is one of the largest and most successful Indigenous organisations in the country.
