About the Position
The Administrative Assistant will be a person who identifies as Indigenous and provides a range of administrative services for a collaborative research translation project, funded by the Medical Research Future Fund, that seeks to co‐design, implement and evaluate culturally tailored caseload midwifery care for women having a First Nations baby in health services across Victoria.

The position will be based within the Judith Lumley Centre (for women, children and family health research) in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at La Trobe's Bundoora campus.
