Mimal Land Management is seeking a dedicated Women’s Ranger Coordinator to play a pivotal role in our mission to manage and protect the rich landscape of Arnhem Land.
The Organisation
At Mimal, we're not just a company - we're custodians of our country's living landscape. Our Indigenous Protected Area management plan reflects the culmination of extensive collaboration with over 20 clan groups, researchers, scientists, and Indigenous rangers. Together, we're on the brink of declaring an IPA across 18,300 square kilometres, marking a significant step towards preserving our natural and cultural treasures.
The Indigenous Mimal Rangers have been assisting people with customary management responsibilities to deliver fire, weed and feral animal management projects in an area of about 1.8M ha in south central Arnhem land since the late 1990s. The work of the Ranger Coordinator is critical to the on-ground implementation of Mimal Land Management Aboriginal Corporation’s land management strategies on behalf of Traditional Owners.
Mimal Land Management Aboriginal Corporation (Mimal) are engaged to deliver a range of land management outcomes through Working on Country program funding to 2027
Mimal is contracted to Arnhem Land Fire Abatement Northern Territory Ltd (ALFANT) to undertake fire management, which generates funding through a 10-year contract for sale of Australian Carbon Credit Units.
Mimal Land Management Rangers consult and work with Traditional Owners to implement, monitor and update the Corporation’s Healthy Country Plan which identifies priorities for management as: our people, our culture and our special places, wetlands (flood plains, rivers creeks and springs, billabongs), rock country and forests.
The Opportunity
As our Women’s Ranger Coordinator, you will play a key role to coordinate on ground works and day-to-day administration to fulfill contract requirements.
