  • Support the planning and delivery of internal and external events, training programs, and community engagements.
  • Assist in organising travel and accommodation for project staff and visitors.
  • Provide support and guidance to junior staff and team members.
  • Other duties as required.

Key Requirements

  • Proven experience in managing complex research projects and reporting requirements.
  • Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure.
  • Demonstrated ability to work with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in ways that uphold self-determination, cultural safety, and respectful engagement.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to build strong stakeholder relationships.
  • A high level of initiative, independence, and sound judgement.
  • Proficiency in office software and digital communication tools (e.g. websites, email marketing, spreadsheets).

Why Join This Team?

  • Work in a supportive, culturally affirming environment that champions Indigenous excellence.
  • Be part of impactful, community-driven research projects that aim to shape futures.
