  • Guided Tour: Visitors have a personal opal tour guide, a pass to all museum displays, and a viewing of our most valuable specimens. The tour is available once a day at midday. Booking is essential.

We have a jewellery shop, adjacent to the museum. It is the only shop in Brisbane that specialises in opal. The shop showcases an extensive range of opal jewellery and loose unset opals.

The Position Includes:

  • Delivering high-quality customer service face to face, as well as via email, phone, and text.
  • Assisting with administration and minor museum-related tasks.

Ideal Candidate:

  • Friendly, well-focused, and organised individual.
