Make a lasting impact for Country, Culture, and Community

Ngarrindjeri Aboriginal Corporation (NAC) is seeking a passionate and experienced Senior Project Officer to lead Ngarrindjeri engagement and representation in the Department for Environment and Water's Healthy Coorong, Healthy Basin (HCHB) Program.

This role provides an exciting opportunity to contribute to the protection and management of Ngarrindjeri Country while ensuring Ngarrindjeri voices and values are embedded in environmental and cultural heritage decision-making.



About the Role

As the Senior Project Officer, you will play a key leadership role in coordinating Ngarrindjeri input into DEW's Water Infrastructure and Operations Branch activities. You'll work closely with government partners, NAC leadership, and the broader Ngarrindjeri community to ensure meaningful representation, engagement, and outcomes under the HCHB Program.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Leading NAC's delivery of services under the HCHB grant agreement.
  • Providing strategic oversight and guidance to ensure Ngarrindjeri perspectives are integrated into all aspects of the program.
  • Coordinating community engagement and communication to support transparency and participation.
  • Providing secretariat support to the HCHB Working Group, including preparing agendas, minutes, and reports.
  • Collaborating with DEW's Aboriginal Partnerships Officer to identify opportunities for Ngarrindjeri involvement and benefit.
  • Supporting media and promotional activities that highlight Ngarrindjeri contributions to the program.

About You

You are an organised, proactive, and culturally grounded professional with a strong commitment to advancing Ngarrindjeri interests and rights. You're confident working in partnership with government and community stakeholders, and you can balance strategic priorities with hands-on project delivery.

To succeed in this role, you'll bring:

  • A demonstrated understanding of and respect for Ngarrindjeri culture, values, and community priorities.
  • Proven experience in project coordination, stakeholder engagement, or community consultation.
  • Strong leadership, facilitation, and communication skills.
  • High-level organisational skills with experience providing administrative or secretariat support.
  • The ability to build trusted relationships across government, community, and partner organisations.

Desirable:

  • Knowledge of environmental management, water infrastructure, or cultural heritage programs.
  • Experience working in Aboriginal community-controlled organisations.
  • Familiarity with government funding agreements and reporting processes.

Why Join The Team?

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of Country, culture, and environmental management, helping to protect Ngarrindjeri lands and waters for future generations.

You'll be part of a supportive, community-led organisation that values collaboration, respect, and cultural integrity, and plays a key role in influencing how government programs are delivered on Country.
