About this role
Cape York Natural Resource Management (Cape York NRM) is a not-for-profit organisation that works to encourage voluntary adoption of improved natural resource management across all land tenures and land uses on Cape York.
We focus on achieving positive outcomes for the people of Cape York through the coordination and delivery of high-quality programs that meet the standards of both government and commercial clients.
Droughts and other natural hazards are enduring features of the Australian landscape, and have significant
economic, social and environmental impacts. Cape York NRM is working to strengthen the resilience of
primary producers and communities across the Cape York Peninsula NRM region.
The position will be a key liaison between the Tropical North Queensland Drought Resilience Adoption and

One of eight national Hubs, the TNQ Hub is hosted and led by James Cook University, with regional delivery
supported by several node partners, including Cape York NRM. The Resilience Coordinator will play a key role
in supporting JCU and Cape York NRM to deliver Drought Hub services and products within the Cape York
