• Certificate IV or Diploma in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Primary Health Care.
• Experience supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in health, wellbeing or community settings.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• A collaborative, proactive and culturally responsive approach.
