After more than 9 years with Jabalbina, Kell has decided it's time for a new chapter. To say she'll be missed is an understatement. For more than nine years, Kell has been the backbone of Jabalbina's governance and administration functions, supporting our Board, members, Executive Team and the organisation as a whole with unwavering dedication, professionalism and, of course, plenty of laughs along the way. Finding someone to replace Kell won't be easy. What we are looking for is someone equally passionate, highly organised, committed to excellence, and ready to play a vital role in supporting strong governance and positive outcomes for Eastern Kuku Yalanji People. If you're looking for meaningful work where your contribution matters, we'd love to hear from you.
