Bring your energy to Cooktown's beating heart of community lifestyle
The Cooktown Events Centre is more than a building – it's the heart of our community. It's where fitness meets fun, where concerts, sports and celebrations come to life, and where locals gather to connect, move and thrive.

We're looking for an energetic, people-focused individual who loves being part of a vibrant, community-driven environment and is passionate about delivering exceptional customer service.

What You'll Do
As the Administration Officer, you'll be the friendly face and organised heart of the Cooktown Events Centre. You will:

  • Provide top-notch front-of-house service — greeting visitors, managing calls and responding to enquiries.
  • Support bookings for events, meetings, functions and sports activities, helping clients create memorable experiences.
  • Assist with gym memberships, fitness passes and sales using Envibe software.
  • Keep everything running smoothly — from financial reconciliations and purchase orders to venue setup and coordination.
  • Be part of a small, supportive team committed to community wellbeing and connection.

About You
We're looking for someone who's:

  • Confident, approachable and customer-service driven.
  • Organised, detail-oriented and skilled in multitasking.
  • Proficient in Microsoft Office and comfortable with technology.
  • A proactive team player who takes initiative and enjoys a varied workload.
  • Experienced in administration and customer service (highly desirable).

Why you'll love working with us
At Cook Shire Council, you'll join a close-knit, community-minded team making a real difference. You'll work in one of Australia's most naturally beautiful regions, where every day brings something new. From high-energy sporting events to community celebrations, your work will help shape an active, inclusive and connected Cooktown.
