with confidence engaging with clients, external stakeholders, managers, and employees at all levels;
- Highly developed written communication skills, including the ability to prepare clear, concise documentation and reports;
- Proven ability to multitask and maintain composure under pressure in a fast‑paced environment, while meeting strict deadlines; and
- Demonstrated ability to uphold the principles of cultural safety including an ability to communicate effectively and sensitively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

- Identifies as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander and is acknowledged as such by their community; and
- Has experience and proficiency using EventsAir software.

Candidates must be able to demonstrate an understanding of the issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people and their ability to communicate sensitively and effectively with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.

Please note: In addition to the above skills and experience,



the successful candidate will require an unrestricted WA “C” Class Driver’s Licence, and be required to submit a National Police Clearance (dated within 3 months) prior to appointment.
