About the Role

An exciting opportunity exists for a motivated and enthusiastic Female Ranger to join the Dieri Ranger Program. This hands-on role supports the delivery of land management, environmental monitoring, cultural heritage protection, and Caring for Country activities across Dieri Country. You will work closely with Traditional Owners, Elders, community members, and fellow Rangers while gaining valuable skills and experience in conservation, cultural heritage, and natural resource management.

The role involves regular fieldwork, travel to remote locations, and participation in overnight camps and on-Country activities. The position is ideal for someone who enjoys outdoor work, values Aboriginal culture, and is committed to learning and making a positive difference for community and Country.

This position is open to Aboriginal women only.

The position forms part of the Corporation’s Australian Government-funded Indigenous Women’s Ranger Program. The program has been established to increase employment, training, leadership and participation opportunities for Aboriginal women in caring for Country and cultural and natural resource management. The restriction of this position to Aboriginal women is a special measure intended to address the under-representation of Aboriginal women in ranger employment and to support the objectives of the funded program.

The role may involve engagement with Dieri women, women’s cultural knowledge, women’s places and activities where culturally appropriate.
