- Manage assets like real estate, vehicles, and shares – ensuring things like insurance policies are paid and properties are maintained
- Liaise with financial institutions and other third-parties like Centrelink and service providers, such as chemists and supermarkets
A talent pool, which is a record of candidates determined as suitable for the role, will be created for current and future ongoing, temporary, full-time, and part-time roles. A talent pool is valid for 18 months and is a great opportunity to be considered for vacancies as they arise.
