About the Tiwi Islands
The Tiwi Islands are located 80km north of Darwin, but life and work here couldn’t be more distinct. Comprising Bathurst and Melville Islands, this is a remote and culturally rich region that is home to the Tiwi people, with over 90% of the population identifying as Aboriginal. Tiwi culture is present in every part of community life - from art and ceremony to language and decision-making. It’s also a region where geography, history and policy intersect in ways that require thoughtfulness, consistency, and resilience.
Tiwi Islands Regional Council is responsible for providing local government services across three main communities – Wurrumiyanga, Pirlangimpi and Milikapiti - as well as the outstations.
The Position
The new Chief Executive Officer will lead a small and committed executive team, support over 120 staff and manage a diverse range of services including infrastructure, waste, community safety, town services and housing maintenance.
You’ll need senior leadership experience...
