We know that it’s easy to talk yourself out of applying for a committee if you don’t fit the majority of criteria - especially if you are a Ballarat Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander, young, LGBTIQA+, a person with a disability, a woman, or non-binary. We strongly encourage you to apply if you are interested, as we are looking for diverse representation and experience, and don’t expect everyone will meet all criteria.
The City of Ballarat is an equal opportunity employer committed to providing a safe and inclusive working environment that embraces and values diversity, flexibility and child safety. We welcome applications from all walks of life and celebrate the diversity and richness this brings to our workplace and reasonable adjustments will be made to the process to ensure equitable access. We undertake an employment screening process to ensure this commitment is upheld, this includes ensuring the successful candidate holds a valid working with children check and satisfactory criminal history record check.
