The Organisation

Our country is a living landscape – our culture, heritage, laws and language are linked to the land.

Mimal Land Management’s Indigenous Protected Area was declared in 2025 across 17,188 square kilometres in south-central Arnhem Land. The IPA management plan was developed through in-depth consultation with more than 36 clan groups who collaborated with Indigenous rangers, researchers and scientists to map and prioritise Mimal’s environmental and cultural assets, identify threats and outline ways to manage them.

The area’s natural and cultural assets are managed by Mimal Rangers on behalf of and in cooperation with landowners and custodians.

Under an established Healthy Country Plan, the rangers manage land, water and fire, and conduct wildlife protection, monitoring and revegetation programs, weed and feral animal control, and carry out rock art, cultural history and language projects, and learning on country education programs with school children.

The Opportunity

The Ranger Coordinator, based at Weemol Ranger Base in Arnhem Land, Northern Territory, plays a critical role in the on-ground implementation of Mimal Land Management Aboriginal Corporation’s land management strategies on behalf of Traditional Owners. The coordinator will work closely with the Mimal Land Management operational leadership team, other coordinators, and the core workforce of 30 full-time and seasonal casual staff to coordinate day-to-day administrative tasks and on-ground works. The Ranger Coordinator will also be responsible for supporting on-the-job training and leading by example in the delivery of fire, weed, and feral animal management projects.
