EOI Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander Employment Opportunities FY27

About us

For 25 years we have been delivering innovative and science-based solutions to challenges affecting the environment. We take pride in our work, investing in and leading initiatives to build prosperity, livability, and sustainability in our region. We are proud of our reputation as leaders in the natural resource management sector. We recognise that the best environmental outcomes are not achieved solely with scientific data. Rather from the layering of many streams of knowledge and understanding, including First Nations traditional knowledges and practices, community insights and experience, and world-leading science.

At the heart of our success is our ability to leverage our strong and growing network of partners and stakeholders – bringing synergistic collaborations together to deliver results. With such an extensive network, we are keenly aware of the significant role we play in educating and informing others about the environment, as well as the importance of cultural heritage in our region, and the need for their preservation.

Underpinned by actions in our RAP, we seek to further strengthen our relationships with First Nations peoples and communities.

The opportunity

We have now commenced recruitment activities for the 2026-27 Financial Year. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander applicants who submit an Expression of Interest will be given primary consideration when we fill vacancies throughout this period.

Healthy Land & Water acknowledges that the place we live in has been nurtured by Australia’s First Peoples for tens of thousands of years. We believe the spiritual, cultural and physical consciousness gained through this custodianship is vital to maintaining the future of the region.

We are inviting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples to express their interest in working with us via registering their expression of interest for future roles with Healthy Land & Water.
