HR Advisor – Sovereign Hill

The Sovereign Hill Museums Association is one of Australia’s leading independent not-for-profit museum organisations. Our purpose is to inspire an understanding of the significance of the central Victorian gold rushes in Australia’s national story.

We collect, conserve and interpret the mining, social, cultural and environmental heritage of the Ballarat region through our world-famous Sovereign Hill Outdoor Museum, the Gold Museum Ballarat, the AURA sound and light show, Sovereign Hill Hotel, and our pastoral property, Narmbool.

The People Division encompasses Human Resources, OH&S, Volunteer Programs and Community Participation, Training, and Interpretive Quality. The Division is also responsible for employee relations, employee health and wellbeing, industrial relations, WorkCover, and Return to Work.

As a key contributor to employee health and wellbeing, the HR Advisor is also responsible for the effective management of WorkCover and Return to Work processes and supporting the Chief People Officer with general HR administration and project-related work.
