About Us

Kurbingui Youth & Family Development is a proud Aboriginal- Community Organisation based on Turrbal Country in North Brisbane, Yuggera Country in South Brisbane and Gubbi Gubbi/Kabi Kabi Country in Moreton Bay, with programs and services expanding across Southeast Queensland.

For over 20 years, we've been walking alongside our community – supporting families, young people and individuals through suite of programs, which include but are not limited to: Family Support , Social & Emotional Wellbeing, Employment & Training, NDIS Support, , Youth Justice & Bail Diversionary Programs, Family and Child Connections, Youth School &  Community, Domestic and Family Violence Response,  Early Years Education as well as a wide range of cultural and community workshops and events.

At Kurbingui, we believe that true impact happens when people feel seen, supported and empowered. We're not just building programs – we're building pathways, opportunities and stronger futures for our community. As we continue to grow, we remain grounded in culture, guided by our values, and driven by a vision of connection, empowerment and lasting change.

Kurbingui is recognised as a leading community organisation in Brisbane, trusted for our commitment to primarily Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander families, children and their young people as well as non-Indigenous and Culturally and Linguistically Diverse members within the communities we serve

Our programs and services are built on cultural knowledge, respect and partnership. We are proud to be a respected and reliable voice in the community, and we continue to grow so that we can reach and support more people across Queensland.

Joining Kurbingui means becoming part of a movement that is strengthening culture, creating opportunity and making a difference every day.

About the Role

At Kurbingui, we know that strong connections between families, services and community are the key to better outcomes for children. As a Local Level Alliance Community Engagement and Support Officer (LLA CESO), you'll play a vital role in building those connections across Brisbane North, South and Southwest — making sure vulnerable families can access the right supports at the right time.

In this role, you'll work alongside the LLA Coordinator to strengthen service networks, coordinate forums and working groups, and identify service system gaps. From supporting the delivery of community-based events and projects, to helping streamline referral pathways between services, your work will directly improve how families experience support in their communities.

This isn't just an administration role — it's an opportunity to contribute to real systems change. You'll work closely with government and non-government partners, service providers, and community organisations to ensure collaboration, cultural competence and community voice are at the centre of service delivery.

If you're someone who values teamwork, has strong communication and organisational skills, and wants to help build a more connected and responsive service system for families, we'd love you to be part of the Kurbingui team.
