About Us
The National Portrait Gallery reflects the face of Australia and increases understanding and appreciation of Australian people and their stories through the art of portraiture. Guided by our values of creativity, innovation, inclusivity and integrity, our purpose is to develop a national portrait collection and provide the broadest possible access to all Australians. We do this through presenting engaging exhibitions and educational programs onsite in our award-winning building in Canberra, offsite across Australia, and on demand.
The Gallery is a dynamic and inclusive workplace and recognises the great contribution of our team. We're committed to the health, safety and wellbeing of our team and our visitors, and to sustaining a safe workplace and inclusive culture. We support flexible working practices and respect family and caring responsibilities.
The Gallery is committed to equal opportunity and diversity. We welcome applications from First Nations people, LGBTQIA+ people, people with a disability, and people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. We're committed to ensuring a child safe and child friendly environment, and to sustaining a safe workplace and inclusive culture. Our staff actively contribute to the wellbeing and safety of our visitors and each other.The Position
