Event Coordinator

At Tourism Australia, we know and love this land. We also know our people are our strength, their different experiences and backgrounds are the key to Tourism Australia’s success. Every day we share our passion with the world, sharing the story of Australia and our 65,000 years of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures. We are just as passionate about creating an incredible culture at Tourism Australia, recognizing and supporting the individuality of our people, in an environment where we learn and grow together.

About the Role

We’re looking for an Event Coordinator to join the engine room of the Tourism Australia Events team in a 12-month full-time contract position. In this pivotal junior role, you’ll support our Event Managers in delivering seamless experiences by managing the database and ensuring every critical deadline is hit with precision. You’ll be the architect behind our registration websites, managing participant data—from travel and accommodation to payments—while keeping our CRM and industry contact records sharp, accurate, and up to date.

Beyond the data and administration, you’ll be a champion for our stakeholders, providing professional, timely customer service to delegates and chasing down essential industry details like logos and insurance certifications.

This is a true 360-degree support role; one day you’ll be coordinating freight, badges, and procurement, and the next you’ll be onsite assisting with registration, signage, or food and beverage delivery. If you’re ready to dive into the nitty-gritty of event delivery and help us showcase the best of Australia to the world, we’d love to have you on board!
