Director of Indigenous Student Experience and Success (s51)

• Inaugural senior leadership role within Curtin's DVCI portfolio

• Full-time, five-year leadership appointment | based at Curtin's Bentley Campus

• Lead & Support meaningful change across the complete student journey

Curtin University is seeking an experienced, values-led and highly relational leader to become our inaugural Director of Indigenous Student Experience and Success. This is an exciting and rare opportunity to help shape a new University-wide approach to supporting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students - from aspiration and access through to belonging, academic achievement, completion and post-university pathways. 

Working closely with the Deputy Vice-Chancellor, Indigenous, you will help bring Curtin’s strategic ambitions to life. You will connect people, services and expertise from across the University, building the frameworks, partnerships and shared ways of working needed to create a more coordinated, culturally responsive and empowering student experience. 

While this is a new role, you will be supported by a warm and closely connected team that is genuinely committed to working together and making a difference. The role does not currently have direct reports; however, you will help shape the portfolio’s future capability and, as the work grows, play an important role in building and leading a team. This position will be central to Curtin’s forthcoming Indigenous Strategy and the achievement of one of the University’s key strategic priorities. It is a genuine opportunity to create strong foundations, influence how the University works and contribute to meaningful outcomes for current and future generations of students.

Applications close: 9pm (AWST), Tuesday 25 August 2026.
