Hello everyone! 

This job is a TEMPORARY VACANCY only meaning it is for less than 6 months duration.  It may be a backfilling situation while someone is on leave or undertaking a higher duties position.  We call them TV6 vacancies and they are only available internally PLUS our E&D list (see paragraph below).  Our Recruitment Centre does not do the recruitment for these vacancies… the recruiting is done directly by the local manager.   You apply as directed in the email and the responses are by the local area.

Under an Equity and Diversity initiative, people with disability and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are able to apply for these jobs even though they do not currently work for Council.  However, you can only apply by using the link provided below and by identifying which equity group you are a member of.  If you have any difficulty, please contact the “More Information” person listed.
