Description:
The Department of Local Government Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSC) acknowledges the Aboriginal peoples of Western Australia as the traditional custodians of this land, and we pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
We’re a very diverse agency that contributes to a better Western Australian community through, among other things, providing opportunities for everyone to engage in a range of sporting, recreational, cultural, and artistic programs and activities.
Staff in our department work across the areas of local government, sport and recreation, culture and the arts, racing, gaming and liquor, multicultural interests, specialist Aboriginal projects and engagement, regulatory reform, infrastructure and state records.
Our work touches on amazing projects like development of the new Aboriginal Cultural Centre, delivery of major international sporting events and helping people stay safe while enjoying a night out in our Protected Entertainment Precincts.
Why work with us?
At DLGSC we are all about ensuring our workforce is made up of ‘Good Humans’!
Finding them, retaining them, and helping them to be the best they can be for themselves, for us, for the people we supply services to, and for our vision of a vibrant, inclusive and resilient Western Australian community.
Our diverse organisation is supported by exceptional, everyday people from all walks of life and many different backgrounds who are supported to genuinely contribute to inclusivity in the workplace.
If you want to work in an inspirational organisation where you have a voice and can contribute to the things that matter to you, then join our awesome team!
We are proudly an equal opportunity employer committed to workplace equity. We support diversity and inclusion in the public sector because it makes us stronger as an organisation, and better able to meet our community’s needs. We strongly encourage people with disability, people from culturally diverse backgrounds, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, women and youth to apply.
