Details: Join our passionate team at one of Canberra’s most iconic destinations, where tourism, conservation and natural beauty meet unforgettable events. We’re seeking an Events Officer to support the delivery of events and tours across our award-winning venue.

While you’ll support the delivery of memorable onsite events at the National Arboretum, much of your time will be spent behind the scenes ensuring everything runs like clockwork. From managing tour bookings to coordinating event approvals and processes, to ensuring safe and seamless bump-ins by contractors, your attention to detail and communication skills will be key.

You’ll bring strong event coordination experience, excellent organisational and communication skills, and a practical, hands-on approach. Confident working independently and under pressure, you’ll liaise with clients, contractors, the onsite catering team and Arboretum staff to deliver safe, high-quality events, both internal and external.

Based at the National Arboretum Canberra, our branch also manages events at Stromlo Forest Park. In this diverse setting, you will have exposure to a range of projects and contribute as part of the broader team. This full-time role may include some after-hours and weekend work.

Eligibility/Other Requirements:

• Current First Aid Certificate.
• Current Driver's licence.
• Prior to commencing this role, a current registration issued under the Working with Vulnerable People (Background Checking) Act 2011 is required. For further information on Working with Vulnerable People registration refer to - Apply for or renew a WWVP registration - Access Canberra

Note: This is a temporary position available immediately until 8 August 2025, with the possibility of extension up to 6 months.

We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.
