Several vacancies have opened up at the NIAA’s Alice Springs and Tennant Creek offices, with applications closing on 30 August 2023. 

These roles are more than just a job: they’re opportunities to actively participate in work that respects and upholds the rich traditions and unique cultures of First Nations communities.

‘Being able to bridge the gap between two worlds, sharing knowledge, and fostering understanding is incredibly rewarding,’ said Engagement team member Sharron. ‘Every journey to my outdoor office not only deepens my professional insights but also strengthens my personal connection to the culture and people I am privileged to collaborate with.’

In addition to working collaboratively with Aboriginal communities, NIAA staff are encouraged to cultivate their potential and advance their careers.

‘Invest and the Agency will invest in you,’ said Sharron.  NIAA supports staff to undertake tertiary study and offers flexibility and support with professional growth.

‘NIAA has a role for everyone, and everyone has the ability to contribute. Equality – I am a busy mum. Diverse working environment, flexible working arrangements.’

Staff at the NIAA’s Central Australian offices are surrounded by remarkable natural beauty and ancient culture. Every day offers an extraordinary backdrop that inspires and captivates.

Sharron was enthusiastic about the experience of living and working in the heart of Australia.

‘A work environment that expands beyond the concrete walls and into some of the most beautiful country you’ve ever seen,’ she said. ‘Every journey to my outdoor office not only deepens my professional insights but also strengthens my personal connection to the culture and people I am privileged to collaborate with.’
