The Foundation
The Juukan Gorge Legacy Foundation was established in May 2023. The Foundation’s purpose is to support the Puutu Kunti Kurrama People (and Pinikura People and other Aboriginal People), by:
- Building the Puutu Kunti Kurrama community to be strong and proud internally and externally;
- Providing programs and services that promote and protect traditional law and custom, language and culture, and maintaining and strengthening traditional connection to Country;
- Providing programs and services that support community health, well-being, and self-determination; and
- Fostering economic development of projects and industries for financial independence.
Reporting to the CEO, the Communications and Engagement Coordinator will work with Foundation team members and external providers to coordinate internal and external communications, lead community and stakeholder engagement initiatives, and monitor engagement.

Additionally, duties will include content creation and coordinating community events, workshops, information sessions and online engagement activities.
