About Qtopia Sydney
Qtopia Sydney is Australia's largest centre for queer history and culture, based on Gadigal land in the former Darlinghurst Police Station. We share the stories of LGBTQIA+ communities and allies through exhibitions, education, programs and events.
Stage 2, opening in the first quarter of 2027, will expand Qtopia Sydney into a multi-level experience for schools, corporates and community. This role is a chance to help shape and build that future.

* Help integrate the existing downstairs galleries with a new upstairs level over time
* Explore digital and interactive elements that deepen queer storytelling
* Ensure exhibitions connect with our education, corporate and community programs
You will work closely with the CEO, Stage 2 project manager, Create NSW and external design and project partners.
