Job opportunities with AFL NT

Tavis Perry of the AFL NT says there are some terrific opporunities available in the organisation, including his former job as a Regional Development Manager based at Elcho Island; a remote location based 500km east of Darwin where one of the biggest Indigenous communities in Australia, Galiwinku, is situated (read an account of it here).

He says these are fantastic entry level jobs into the AFL – $60k plus accommodation, a car, 9wks annual leave and free Professional Development.
