About the Role

Join us as a Senior Cultural Advisor and play a pivotal role in shaping how the ABC tells stories — bringing Indigenous and diverse cultural perspectives, protocols, and knowledge to the heart of our Screen and Audio content.

You'll share and transfer Indigenous and diverse community and cultural knowledge, expertise and skills to colleagues and clients, delivering information sessions, briefings and training, as well as providing editorial guidance.

You'll establish and maintain strong working relationships with various internal stakeholders including, the News Division Senior Cultural Adviser and Head Indigenous, the First Nations Strategy team, and The Bonner Committee. 

You will advise on and, when needed, lead First Nations community consultation for projects.

You will also play a lead role in developing and delivering training for the ABC's ICIP policy and framework.

About You

You're someone who brings experience and confidence to the role. You've led cultural initiatives, policies, or plans and know how to influence and build strong, collaborative relationships with people at all levels.

You're a born communicator and can explain ideas clearly, whether in writing or face-to-face. You bring energy, professionalism, and a creative approach to finding solutions that make a real difference.

You understand Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander cultures and can communicate sensitively and effectively. You live the ABC Values—aiming high, thinking differently, taking ownership, and delivering together—and you're committed to fostering an inclusive, respectful environment. 

Working at the ABC

The ABC is the nation's most trusted and independent source of Australian conversations, culture, and stories. With more than 4,000 employees from diverse backgrounds across more than 50 locations around Australia and overseas, we are proud to create, curate and deliver high-quality content that informs, educates and entertains Australian communities.

The ABC's a great place to work; we provide various opportunities for Indigenous staff, including attending the national Indigenous staff conference, activities during NAIDOC week, regular networking events and mentoring support.
 
You'll have a friendly and supportive environment to learn and grow in, with a vibrant, dynamic and cohesive team and a manager who will help you with any questions and give you regular opportunities to talk about your progress. You'll also have access to a network of Indigenous staff and support from the ABC's Lead, Indigenous Employment and Diversity.
