-
Above award rates! Commencing salary of $1,721.00 gross per fortnight plus superannuation (at 18 years of age or older), varying rates subject to age and experience as per award provisions.

Your new role:
Working alongside the Property team, you’ll provide practical administrative and business support across a variety of functions, including:
- Data entry, records and document management.
- Preparing correspondence and maintaining accurate information across Council systems.
- Responding to customer enquiries and providing professional frontline support.
- Coordinating meetings, agendas and minutes.
- Assisting with purchasing, reconciliations, diary management and other day-to-day administration.
- Supporting business and performance planning activities.
- Maintaining registers and administrative systems associated with Council’s property portfolio.
Who we’re looking for:
You might already be working in an administration, reception or customer service role and looking for an opportunity to formalise your experience, gain a qualification and broaden your skills.
