education. Also preferred is a willingness to undertake further tertiary
study in Linguistics on one of the languages supported by Muurrbay.

What Muurrbay can offer you:

An opportunity to work with a successful regional language centre; advice

experience and an ongoing connection with Muurrbay that may lead to future
work opportunities in the region and beyond; and support in developing
topics of research for future study.

will also be negotiated, however consultancy fees will be in the vicinity
of $200-$300 per day depending on qualifications and experience and it is
