About the role…

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer / Director of Regional Development, the Corporate Services Coordinator provides administrative, coordination and operational support to ensure the smooth and effective day-to-day running of RDABGLAP. The role spans Board and Committee administration, financial coordination, risk and compliance, people administration, records management, office operations and corporate systems. This is a flexible 0.7 FTE part-time position based at the RDABGLAP offices in Nuriootpa.

Working closely with the CEO, Board, staff and external service providers, you will coordinate recurring organisational obligations, maintain accurate corporate information and support effective internal processes. You will also help ensure governance, audit, funding and compliance requirements are visible, well organised and followed through within agreed timeframes.

This is a broad, hands-on coordination role requiring discretion, sound judgement and the ability to work independently across day-to-day responsibilities. You will bring structure to a varied workload, identify emerging risks or delays, and refer matters requiring management or governance decisions to the appropriate person or body.

What you will do…

- Governance and Board Support - Coordinate Board and Committee meetings, agendas, papers, minutes, action registers, policies and governance records, while supporting the CEO and Chair with governance requirements.
- Finance Coordination and Controls - Support budget preparation and forecasting, monitor financial information and documentation, and coordinate debtor, creditor and payroll administration with the external finance provider. The provider undertakes transactional bookkeeping, reconciliations, statutory reporting and month-end accounting.
- Risk, Compliance and Audit - Maintain risk registers, compliance schedules,



insurance and business continuity documentation; coordinate annual audit requirements; and track agreed actions, emerging issues and reporting deadlines.
- Funding and People Administration - Coordinate funding records, reporting and acquittal requirements, and maintain confidential employee records across recruitment, onboarding, employment documentation, leave, development and offboarding.
- Records and Information Management - Maintain secure, accessible corporate records, registers and document-control systems, supporting consistent use of approved information-management practices and appropriate access to sensitive information.
- Office, Systems and Improvement - Coordinate facilities, suppliers, ICT support, equipment, assets, licences and service arrangements, while identifying practical opportunities to simplify, standardise and automate corporate processes.

These responsibilities reflect the position description's focus on coordination and operational support. Governance accountability and decision-making remain with the Board and CEO, as applicable.

What they are looking for…

- Demonstrated experience - in corporate services, governance coordination, Board or Committee administration, business administration or a comparable role.
- Experience supporting - a Board, Committee, executive or senior leadership team, with the ability to coordinate accurate papers, minutes, records and recurring obligations.
- Sound financial understanding - including financial administration, internal controls, budget monitoring and effective coordination with external finance providers.
- Governance, risk and compliance capability - with the ability to maintain registers and records, coordinate audit and funding requirements, monitor deadlines and escalate emerging matters appropriately.
- Excellent organisational skills - with accuracy, attention to detail and the ability to manage changing priorities and recurring deadlines.
- Strong communication and analytical skills - including the ability to gather, interpret and communicate corporate information and prepare clear,



concise and professional documentation.
- High levels of discretion and judgement - when handling confidential Board, financial, employee and organisational information.
- Strong systems and records capability - with confidence using Microsoft 365 and the ability to learn and support effective use of new business systems.
- Initiative and ownership - with the ability to work collaboratively and independently, identify risks or delays, and recommend practical process improvements.
- Strong relationship skills - and the confidence to work with staff, Board members, government and funding stakeholders, suppliers and external skilled advisers.

A relevant qualification in business administration, human resources, governance or a related discipline will be well regarded. Experience within a government-funded or not-for-profit organisation, annual audit coordination, funding acquittals, HR administration, risk and compliance, or project coordination would also be advantageous.

Experience with MYOB AccountRight and contemporary corporate systems would be beneficial.
