Mirima Dawang Woorlab-gerring Language and Culture Centre (MDWg)’s mission is to revitalise the traditional Miriwoong language and culture by employing a range of strategies and initiatives.

MDWg addresses this task through a variety of programs including language classes, radio programs, documentation, public outreach, resource development, and other activities.

The diverse team at MDWg consists of about 20 members and includes Miriwoong language engagement officers, linguists, education facilitators, Miriwoong Elders, and volunteers. Our base is the Mirima Language Centre, a busy Indigenous hub which has been operating and expanding for over 30 years.

We are currently in search of a suitably qualified and motivated individual to fill the role of Office Manager at MDWg. The Office Manager supports the CEO in ensuring smooth operations in a variety of work areas. These include general administration, financial procedures, marketing and communications, as well as governance support.
