The Tarlka Matuwa Piarku Aboriginal Corporation (TMPAC) Operations Team, is looking for Travel and Events Coordinator - Extraordinaire

About the role

You’ll be the person who helps make important moments possible for Martu people. By bringing together the travel and logistics, people and practical details behind every meeting, AGM and trip to Country, you’ll help Elders, Directors, members and colleagues feel welcomed, supported and able to focus on what matters. You will manage the fleet and other related equipment and assets.

You’ll join a close-knit and supportive Operations Manager and Team that shares information, steps in for each other and works together when plans change. Your contribution will be noticed, valued and connected to the outcomes we achieve for Community and Country.

Key responsibilities

Effective management and maintenance of all travel related venue hire arrangements, equipment and assets. i.e. vehicles, gazebos, tables, chairs, ICT equipment and more...

Book flights, accommodation, hire cars and transport for Directors, committee members and staff

Plan on-Country meetings, workshops and AGMs: venues, catering, accommodation and merchandise

Set up and support meetings at our Perth office

Keep the organisation’s calendar, vehicle records and travel card reconciliations in good order

Assist with reception, office administration and member enquiries

Support the operations team and broader organisation to deliver successful outcomes to all stakeholders

About you

Experience organising travel, events or busy schedules, whether in events, hospitality, travel, school or community administration, or rostering

You juggle lots of moving parts,



remain focused on solutions at all times and stay calm when the pressure is on and plans change

You treat Elders, Directors and members with respect and care

You are a problem solver who thrives on being critical to all stakeholders’ success and pitches in wherever needed

Confident with Microsoft Office and on the phone

A current driver’s licence (essential)

Happy to run around and to travel to Wiluna a few times a year for our AGM and Special General Meetings (SGMs)

You are dependable, practical and generous with your support

You build relationships easily, share information and enjoy being part of a team where people step in for each other and work together for Community

You’ll thrive here if…

you love the buzz of a well-run event, field trip or meeting

you think on your feet when plans change and build strong networks of support as you go

you enjoy being part of a close team that communicates openly, shares the busy days and celebrates what is achieved together for Community

you take ownership, initiative, possess strong common sense, and are creative, with a can-do attitude

you are energised by helping others and finding ways to get the job done every time

you bring a positive energy into every day and especially on the busy days - Your glass is always half-full





This probably isn't the role for you if…

- you want the same tasks at the same desk every day
- you are not looking to be challenged by the limitations of access to services in remote communities; or
- you’re looking for a freight or supply chain logistics role

You don’t need to tick every box. If you care about people, enjoy being someone others can rely on and want your work to contribute to Community and Country, we’d love to hear from you.
