About the Redevelopment

The redevelopment of the Australian War Memorial’s (AWM) galleries and precinct is the most significant redevelopment in the organisation’s 83-year history. The multi-year multimillion dollar project will deliver a substantial expansion of existing gallery spaces. The new southern extension, Anzac atrium, and an enhanced Anzac Hall are now delivered, with projects now underway in the main heritage building.

We are seeking talented professionals to support the delivery of a significant new gallery; the Pre 1914 and Frontier Wars galleries. This phase of work focuses on exhibition research, design, coordination and fit out for Australia’s Frontier Wars – creating inclusive, accessible, engaging exhibitions for broad audiences.

Working at the AWM offers a rare opportunity to contribute to complex, high profile gallery projects within one of the world’s leading commemorative and museum institutions. This role is ideal for applicants who thrive in collaborative, delivery focused environments and are motivated by creating meaningful, high quality visitor experiences. Join a passionate, multidisciplinary team shaping galleries that will educate, engage and inspire visitors for generations to come.

This project will deliver against the AWM’s commitment to broader and deeper representation of Frontier conflicts and will follow the best-practice principles from the AMaGA Indigenous roadmap and the federal Government’s Revive policy that prioritise authentic cultural representation and First Nations arts and culture is First Nations led.
