Account Manager

About State Sport Centres:  

The Victorian State Sport Centres Trust (SSCT) operates and maintains over $1 billion assets including four of Australia’s largest multi-sport venues, the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC), the State Netball and Hockey Centre (SNHC), Lakeside Stadium incorporating the State Athletics Centre, and Knox Regional Sports Park including the State Basketball Centre (SBC). 

Unlike other major international standard venues that host sport and entertainment events, SSCT venues also provide access for users at all levels, from elite and professional athletes to school and community participants 7 days per week, up to 16 hours a day.

Through the provision of access for all, SSCT makes a unique and significant contribution to Victoria’s sport sector. 

Four Workplace Values underpin the work we do: Teamwork, Safety, Excellence & Respect.
