City of Yarra, Österreich Treaty Authority Vollzeit

The Treaty Authority is an independent entity with a mandate to facilitate the formation of treaties between First Peoples in Victoria and the State of Victoria. The Authority has been referred to as the “independent umpire” in Treaty negotiations.

The Authority’s work is grounded in Aboriginal culture, lore and law and is led collectively by a panel of five Members committed to Aboriginal self-determination, empowerment and human rights. It engages with a broad cross-section of stakeholders including the First Peoples’ Assembly, Traditional Owners, Aboriginal community-controlled organisations and the State of Victoria. 

The objects of the Authority’s work are to:

  • Facilitate the journey towards reconciliation, mutual respect and tolerance between First Peoples and other people of the State and
  • Maintain, promote and advance the self-determination and empowerment, culture and human rights of First Peoples.
About the Role

The Authority aims to appoint a highly experienced Chief Executive Officer (CEO) who will be a key leader within the Treaty Negotiation process in Victoria and will play a critical role in achieving a successful treaty process across Victoria. 

Together with the Members, the CEO is responsible for leading and driving the strategic direction and vision of the organisation. This will include the delivery of the Authority’s functions and its operational, financial, and legal compliance to achieve the organisation’s purpose and meet its obligations under relevant legislation.

Specific responsibilities include:

  • Facilitating and overseeing Treaty negotiations
  • Administering the Treaty Negotiation Framework
  • Providing for the resolution of disputes
  • Carrying out research to support Treaty negotiations and
  • Overseeing the Negotiations Database.

The CEO will provide strong and purpose-led leadership for the employees, focusing on building a connected, engaged and culturally strong organisational culture to support the Authority’s vision and values. The CEO will coach and mentor a cohesive and high-performing senior leadership team to drive change and enable the organisation to meet its strategic objectives.

In this high-profile role, there will be a strong focus on building relationships and partnerships with the First Peoples’ Assembly, Aboriginal community-controlled organisations, the broader Victorian Aboriginal community, the State Government and other stakeholders.

The ideal candidate will be a collaborative leader with proven experience as a CEO or Senior Executive, with expertise in community advocacy and social justice, growing an organisation essentially from scratch and display a willingness to be hands-on while being strategically focused.

This role requires an individual who is passionate about being part of historic reform to progress Treaty-making in Victoria. They will be able to perform under pressure and operate with the highest level of integrity. They will display empathy and respect whilst promoting resilience and perseverance across the team. They will lead in a way that maintains focus on the primary goal of achieving Treaties in a way that best furthers the achievement of the rights of Aboriginal Victorians.

This is a full-time role, based at our offices in Collingwood.
