What job opportunities exist?
The range of job opportunities are vast. While we don’t do everything, we do a lot. For most people there is a job they can consider.

We create facilities and services for the community to enjoy the arts, history and culture, including our local Aboriginal culture (eg, at Burraja and elsewhere throughout the municipality), through establishing and maintaining facilities such as the performing arts centre (The Cube), the library gallery (Hyphen), and the historical settlement museum (Bonegilla Migrant Experience), as well as a lively program of events.

We design and deliver health and wellbeing programs targeting key cohorts in the community, including youth, families, migrants, people with a disability etc.
