Employment
Working at Worawa means contributing to a culturally grounded education setting where Aboriginal governance and decision making are central.
We employ staff across boarding, teaching, and corporate roles. All positions require a strong commitment to student wellbeing, child safety, and respectful relationships with Aboriginal students and communities.
Boarding roles involve the day to day care and supervision of students and include shift work across afternoons, evenings, and weekends. These roles support a safe and consistent residential environment.
All staff are expected to:
- uphold Worawa’s values and cultural framework
- work collaboratively and contribute to daily operations
- meet all child safety and compliance requirements
Current vacancies are advertised as they arise. Applications should include a resume and a brief cover letter.
Volunteer opportunities
Volunteers support students in practical and meaningful ways within a structured and supervised environment.
Opportunities may include:

Volunteers are matched to areas of need and work under the guidance of staff. All roles are subject to supervision capacity and alignment with College programs.
A current Working with Children Check is required. First aid and a driver licence are beneficial but not essential.
We encourage expressions of interest from people who are committed to working in a culturally safe environment.
