We are looking for a warm, motivated and culturally grounded Human Resources (HR) Advisor to join our team.

Key responsibilities

  • Provide HR advice on performance management, conduct, attendance and wellbeing matters
  • Support the resolution of staff concerns, complaints and grievances in a timely, respectful and culturally appropriate way
  • Advice on organisation policies, procedures, awards and employment legislation
  • Support culturally safe workplace practices aligned with self determination
  • Assist with employee wellbeing initiatives, including coordination of the Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
  • Support professional development planning and training coordination in collaboration with team leaders
  • Maintain accurate and confidential HR records, case notes and documentation in line with organisational, legislative and privacy requirements

About You

We are looking for someone who not only brings HR experience but also cares deeply about people and culture.

  • You have HR qualifications or demonstrated in an HR Advisory or generalist role
  • An understanding of Australian employment legislation, awards and best practice
  • Knowledge of OH&S and Safe workplace practices
  • You are a respectful communicator who values culture, inclusion and integrity
  • You are organised, have attention to detail, and can manage competing deadlines
  • Sound knowledge of Microsoft Office, and experience in Employment Hero would be advantageous

What's on Offer

  • A fulltime position, located in either Ballarat or Geelong
  • A supportive and inclusive workplace with strong values and connection
  • Competitive salary with salary packaging options
