Understanding or willingness to develop understanding of consulting and project life cycle, taking initiative to develop relationships with clients, whilst maintaining high standards of service delivery
Appetite to enhance your skills in report writing, building relationships, and project management
Australian Driver's License, enabling you to effectively fulfil the requirements of the position

Imagine a better future for you and a better future for us all.
