Wellbeing Engagement Mentees – Identified

Laynhapuy Homelands Aboriginal Corporation (Laynha) is seeking multiple motivated Wellbeing Engagement Mentees to join our Wellbeing Hub team.

This role is ideal for someone who is passionate about supporting community members to access services, build confidence with digital platforms, and strengthen connections to wellbeing supports. If you enjoy working with people, travelling to homelands, and making a practical difference in community, we’d love to hear from you.

This is an Identified Position. Applications are sought from people who identify as Yolŋu. The primary purpose of this position is to work directly with Yolŋu individuals, families, Elders, and communities in a culturally specific context. Success in the role requires established relationships within Yolŋu communities, an understanding of Yolŋu law and culture, kinship systems, local protocols, and, where applicable, proficiency in Yolŋu Matha. These are inherent requirements of the position and cannot reasonably be acquired through training alone.

About the Program

The Wellbeing Hub provides practical, culturally safe support services to community members across East Arnhem Land. Through outreach, referrals, and community engagement, the program helps individuals and families connect with services that support financial wellbeing, social wellbeing, and everyday needs.
