Be part of something bigger.

Help strengthen connections between culture, community and Country while contributing to a more inclusive and collaborative future for Landcare across the Murray region.

Location: Flexible within the Murray NSW region
Employer: Holbrook Landcare Network on behalf of Murray Landcare
Applications close: 11:59 pm, Wednesday 1 July 2026

Do you have strong connections to community, a passion for Country, and a desire to create positive change?

Murray Landcare is seeking two motivated and community-minded Aboriginal people to join our team as part time Regional Aboriginal Landcare Coordinators (RALC). This is a unique opportunity to help strengthen relationships between Aboriginal communities and Landcare, support community-led initiatives, and ensure Aboriginal perspectives are embedded in environmental and land management activities across the Murray region.

About the Role

As a Regional Aboriginal Landcare Coordinator, you'll be a connector, collaborator and cultural champion.

Working across the Murray region, you will build meaningful relationships with Aboriginal communities, Landcare groups and partner organisations. You'll help create opportunities for cultural knowledge sharing, support inclusive engagement, and contribute to projects that benefit people, Country and community.

No two days will be the same. One day you may be attending a community meeting or yarning circle, and the next you could be on Country supporting a Landcare project, connecting people across networks, or helping build cultural understanding within Landcare organisations.

What You'll Be Doing

• Building strong connections between Landcare and Aboriginal communities.

• Supporting meaningful engagement, collaboration and co-design.

• Facilitating conversations that strengthen understanding and partnerships.

• Supporting community-led projects and initiatives.

• Helping Landcare organisations build cultural awareness and competence.

• Sharing cultural knowledge and promoting Aboriginal perspectives in Landcare activities.

• Working with a supportive network of Landcare Coordinators and Aboriginal Landcare professionals across NSW.

• Monitoring, evaluating and reporting on project outcomes.

About Us

Holbrook Landcare Network is a community-based not-for-profit organisation that has been supporting rural communities since 1989. We work alongside Landcare organisations throughout the Murray region to deliver environmental, agricultural and community projects that make a real difference.

Murray Landcare brings together independent Landcare groups and organisations to work collaboratively across the region. Together, we share knowledge, build partnerships and support stronger outcomes for communities, agriculture and the environment.

We are committed to increasing awareness and understanding of living and working in a cultural landscape and to strengthening First Nations engagement throughout our programs and activities.

We'd Love to Hear From You If You:

• Identify as Aboriginal and are accepted by your community.

• Have strong cultural knowledge and connections within Aboriginal communities.

• Enjoy building relationships and working with diverse groups of people.

• Are organised, self-motivated and able to manage competing priorities.

• Have an interest in Landcare, environmental stewardship, sustainable agriculture or caring for Country.

• Can work independently while also contributing to a collaborative team environment.

• Hold a current NSW Driver Licence and are willing to travel throughout the Murray region.
  

What We Offer

• A meaningful role that supports Aboriginal leadership and community outcomes.

• Flexible location within the Murray NSW region.

• The opportunity to work across a diverse and vibrant landscape.

• Ongoing support from Landcare Coordinators, partner organisations and the statewide Aboriginal Landcare network.

• Professional development and participation in an Aboriginal Community of Practice.

• A welcoming and supportive team environment.
