Support Aboriginal artists and art and culture centres across northern Australia

Arnhem Northern and Kimberley Artists (ANKA) Aboriginal Corporation is seeking a skilled and community-minded Administration Support Officer to play a central role in our Darwin-based team.

This is an identified position for an Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander person, offering the opportunity to contribute to the sustainability and growth of remote northern Australia's peak Aboriginal arts organisation.
