Job opportunities

Key responsibilities

• Working alongside experienced colleagues, you’ll:

  • Help plan and coordinate consultation with Aboriginal communities, organisations and project stakeholders.

  • Participate in meetings, workshops and site visits, helping create a welcoming environment for people to contribute.

  • Keep clear records of consultation activities and help follow up on agreed actions.

  • Undertake research and contribute to Aboriginal Cultural Values and Connecting with Country reports.

  • Help ensure information shared through consultation is represented accurately and used in accordance with community guidance.

  • Support project coordination and collaborate with colleagues across Artefact’s heritage teams.

  You’ll have guidance and support as you learn. You won’t be expected to lead complex consultation programs, manage project budgets or sign off reports independently from day one.

The benefits

At Artefact, we know our success depends on supporting our people to grow—personally and professionally. Our benefits include:

• Flexible work options, including work-from-home opportunities.

• Professional development leave and a professional development allowance.

• Regular training and informal learning opportunities.

• Paid membership of the relevant professional organisation.

• Career pathways as you build your experience and explore your interests.

• Personal wellbeing support.

• A close-knit, collaborative team that supports each other.

About you

We’re looking for someone who listens carefully, builds respectful relationships and follows through on their commitments.

You’ll bring the following:

• An interest in Aboriginal cultural heritage, Country and community-led approaches to project work.

• Clear communication skills and a respectful approach to working with communities, colleagues and clients.

• Good organisational skills and attention to detail.

• An interest in research, recording information and contributing to written work.

• A willingness to learn, ask questions and share your experience with the team.

• A current C class driver’s licence for site visits and project activities.

Experience in community consultation, cultural programs, Aboriginal heritage or research would be welcome, but is not essential. We value experience gained through community and cultural work, employment, volunteering and study.

An Aboriginal identified role

This position is open only to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants. It is part of Artefact’s commitment to supporting Aboriginal voices and growing Aboriginal careers in cultural heritage.

You’ll help build relationships with Aboriginal communities and contribute to projects informed by their knowledge, priorities and connection to Country. Working alongside experienced colleagues and the communities involved, you’ll have support to learn, contribute and build your career.

How to apply

Please submit your CV and a brief cover letter telling us about your experience and what interests you about this opportunity.

Your experience doesn’t need to come from a traditional career pathway. We’d like to hear about the community, cultural, volunteer, employment or study experiences you would bring to the team.
