Join Us at Marthakal: Where Purpose Meets Country

Step into a role where your work truly matters. At Marthakal Homelands Resource Centre, you’re not just taking a job — you’re becoming part of a movement. Grounded in the heart of Yolŋu Country on Elcho Island and extending across a vast network of Homelands and protected coastal areas, Marthakal is a dynamic Aboriginal organisation driven by culture, community, and connection to Country. Through our Marthakal Master Planning Strategy, we’re building strong futures — from economic development and housing to health, rangers, tourism, and more — and we’re looking for passionate people to walk alongside Yolŋu leaders in bringing this vision to life.

Working here means:

Contributing to real change across housing, health, enterprise, and environmental stewardship.

Collaborating with Yolŋu leaders in a Both-Ways approach that values culture as central to everything we do.

Living and working in one of Australia’s most unique and culturally rich locations — surrounded by community, ceremony, sea Country, and purpose.

If you’re ready to bring your skills, your heart, and your curiosity to a place where your work becomes part of something much bigger — we want to hear from you.
