Executive Administration Assistant

The Mid-Western Region is located in the Central Tablelands of
NSW, just over 3 hours from Sydney. With it being one of regional NSW's
fastest-growing areas, Mudgee provides many reasons to relocate with great
lifestyle benefits and the opportunity to escape the hustle and bustle of city
life. The region's community is welcoming and friendly, which is why the region
has become a popular location for tree changers who have had enough of traffic
jams, congestion and long work hours.

steady rate, Council now employs over 450 staff members and has an exciting
