We’re seeking a proactive and collaborative Policy and Governance Coordinator to support Council’s governance, policy and risk frameworks.
You’ll coordinate policy development and reviews, monitor compliance, identify risks, and provide clear advice across the organisation.
With strong communication and analytical skills, you’ll build relationships, support governance projects, and help strengthen transparency and accountability.
If you’re passionate about good governance and continuous improvement, we’d love to hear from you.
Applications are invited and will be considered until the position is successfully filled.
