  • Contribute practical managerial experience to the future of an Indigenous community
  • Run all parts of a small non-government organisation, including finance, operations, reporting
  • Base salary $80,000, housing at nominal rent, 4 weeks annual leave plus 4 weeks TOIL (time off in lieu)


Mindibungu Aboriginal Corporation (Mindi) is the administration arm of Billiluna, a remote indigenous community with a population of approximately 220, located in the East Kimberley of Western Australia, 175 km south of Halls Creek.

The community layout includes a store, clinic, education centre, youth centre, internet café / resource centre, entertainment centre, guest accommodation and sport areas. The community is adjacent to a large pastoral lease area.

The challenging role of managing Mindi will appeal to a volunteer-minded person or couple who can readily adapt to living in a remote environment. You will possess a 'can do' practical approach within a positive frame of mind and be able to manage a wide range of responsibilities.

These vary from coordinating fuel supplies and sales to managing maintenance and security within the community to supervising the Centrelink agency and meals-on-wheels program along with financial reporting to the Council and community.

Experience in all aspects of the management of a small business or non-government organisation, combined with positive motivation to be involved in every aspect of the operation as well as promoting and advocating for the well-being of all Billiluna's residents will be key to success in this interesting position.
