About Tjamu Tjamu (Aboriginal Corporation) RNTBC

TTAC is a quickly growing and evolving organisation supporting the self determination of Kiwirrkurra People, based on-country in Kiwirrkurra Community, one of Australia’s remotest Aboriginal communities. TTAC’s operations focus on 5 areas – land, cultural heritage, rangers, community, social and economic development and having a strong organisation.

TTAC and Kiwirrkurra People are experiencing a massive phase of change, with increased mining and exploration activity, significant organisational growth, and broader societal and community changes. Over the past 4 years, TTAC has been supported by a PBC Capacity Building grant from NIAA and has made significant progress towards being a well led organisation, governed by a Board of Kiwirrkurra people, and with sufficient resources to achieve the aspirations of Kiwirrkurra People. TTAC has recently received a second PBC Capacity Building grant which aims to consolidate the progress achieved and strengthen TTAC to be self-sustaining into the future.

Working with TTAC offers an experience of the world different to mainstream environments through being in the beautiful, vibrant, living desert and a meaningful opportunity to support Kiwirrkurra People to pursue self-determination and their version of a good life.

About the Role

The Project and Operations Support Officer position’s core responsibility (approx. 75%) will be to support the implementation of TTAC’s PBC Capacity Building Grant, as well as providing operational support across TTAC’s other business areas (approx 25%).

Due to accommodation constraints in Kiwirrkurra, the role will be based in Alice Springs, with roughly monthly weeklong visits to Kiwirrkurra.
