Administration & Communications Assistant

Her place women's museum 

Her Place Women's Museum is Australia's preeminent  women's museum. Her Place is the go-to hub for stories, debates and advocacy of Australian women's achievements. We make women visible through exhibitions, education and digital innovation. We are transitioning from start-up to a sustainable, multi-stream organisation. We seek an Administration & Communications Assistant to support our small team's operations, communications and engagement as we grow.

OUR impact

• Australia’s leading women’s museum - exhibiting and partnering to drive gender equality. 
• Finding Her — an interactive digital map commemorating Victorian women, developed in collaboration with Geographic Names Victoria
• The Finding Her Research Hub, providing fee-for-service research to councils and developers on gender-equitable place naming
• She Leads In Conversation — a public program series featuring prominent Australian women

ABOUT the ROle

The Administration & Communications Coordinator provides operational, communications and engagement support. This is a varied, hands-on role at the centre of a small, growing organisation — you will help keep the museum, the Board and our communications running smoothly. The role reports to the Executive Director, who retains strategic oversight and final sign-off on key content.

About You

You're organised, self-directed and genuinely energised by the variety of a small-team role — equally at ease drafting a newsletter, collating board papers, and keeping the office admin ticking over. You likely have experience in administration, communications or marketing support, ideally within a small team or not-for-profit, and you're confident across social media platforms and content tools like Canva, Mailchimp and Google Workspace. You bring strong written communication skills and a sharp eye for detail, and above all, a genuine alignment with Her Place's mission to make Victorian women's stories visible.
