Overview
Human Resources Officer (Relocation Support to Katherine, NT!)
Katherine West Health Board (KWHB) is a community-led Aboriginal health service delivering integrated primary healthcare and wellbeing programs across more than 160,000 km² of remote NT. We are an Aboriginal community-controlled organisation focused on holistic care — supporting physical health, social, cultural, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing. We are rebuilding and growing our HR team to better serve our mission. You will be part of a team that builds systems, supports staff, and brings calm to chaos in a fast-paced health environment.
Our HR culture is kind, hardworking, and collaborative — with plenty of laughs in between.
What this role offers
Base pay range: A$80,000.00/yr
- Step into a meaningful HR role where your work supports real community outcomes

- Join a growing, people-first HR team shaping the future of workforce support

Role purpose and responsibilities
This role supports all the moving parts that keep our workforce thriving — onboarding, compliance, coordination, and people-first problem solving. You’ll be the go-to person for getting staff set up, keeping things running smoothly, and making sure the little things don’t fall through the cracks.
You’ll be joining a close-knit, supportive team that values clear communication, common sense, and a good laugh. We are refreshing systems, improving templates, and implementing changes after a recent HR audit. There’s structure, but space to help shape how things are done. The team is rebuilding foundations and refining how HR supports the wider organisation.
You don’t need remote experience or cultural expertise to start — just a respectful attitude, curiosity, and willingness to learn. The rest, we’ll support you with.
What you’ll do in onboarding and early days
- Join a structured online orientation to meet our organisation and people
- Complete cultural awareness videos and learn about our mission and model
- Visit key departments — Finance, Assets, IT, HR — to understand cross-functional workflows
- Learn day-to-day systems like timesheets, purchase orders, and compliance platforms
- Shadow team members and build confidence in the HR toolkit
As you settle in, you’ll have opportunities to travel with the team to remote communities to understand local context and connect with Aboriginal community members.
You don’t need to know it all — your growth will be supported.
Team and culture
Join a team that’s rebuilding together. The HR team is small but evolving, focused on creating a collaborative culture that’s adaptable, respectful, and open to change. You’ll work with teammates who bring diverse strengths and a shared purpose. The HR Manager leads with support and forward-thinking practices.
Your ideas will be heard. Your efforts will be seen. Your growth will be supported.

- Strong admin or HR support experience
