About the role

Aboriginal Liaison Officers play an extremely important role to assist customers using the public transport network. Their presence on board train services and at various train stations around the network, provides an opportunity for them to engage with and support our customers.

They may be called upon to attend incidents involving first nations people where their presence and support can help to calm and de-escalate tensions or to provide help and support to those who may be experiencing hardships such as homelessness, domestic violence, medical concerns, etc. Our team frequently engage with external agencies and organisations to share valuable information and find assistance for those who are vulnerable and at risk.
