Strengthening sustainable futures for Anangu communities

About Regional Anangu Services Aboriginal Corporation (RASAC)
The Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands are located in the far north-west of South Australia. Covering a vast and unique region, the Lands are home to a number of Anangu communities, with Umuwa positioned roughly in the centre. The area is remote, culturally rich, and deeply connected to Anangu heritage and identity.

RASAC is an Anangu-led organisation committed to improving the quality of life for Anangu and creating opportunities for sustainable outcomes. The organisation delivers a wide range of essential services across the APY Lands, including remote employment services, municipal and homelands services, infrastructure maintenance, mechanical services, and community patrols.

The Position
Reporting to the RASAC Board, the General Manager provides strategic, operational, and cultural leadership. This role oversees high-quality service delivery, manages organisational operations, and ensures strong governance, accountability, and transparency. The General Manager will also develop business opportunities, maintain relationships with funding bodies, government agencies, and other Aboriginal organisations, and support a cohesive organisational culture focused on continuous improvement.
The role involves frequent travel to the Lands to work closely with communities and service teams.

About You:
We are seeking an experienced leader who understands the complexities of working in remote communities and the importance of culturally respectful engagement. You will bring a record of success in executive management, preferably within community services, local government or Indigenous organisations. Strong governance, financial management, and people leadership skills are essential, as is a genuine commitment to supporting Anangu self-determination.

What’s on offer?
This is a rewarding opportunity for a capable leader who values collaboration, cultural connection and meaningful work. The position is based in Alice Springs and includes regular travel to the APY Lands. A total remuneration package in the range of $240,000 to $280,000 will be negotiated, including relocation support, salary packaging and use of a motor vehicle.
