  Perform administration duties to assist the Federal Member in their electorate. Day to day operation of an Electorate Office as well as managing finances.

I was also responsible for assisting constituents over the phone, or in person with issues and concerns that are impacting on them and their family and making representations to the appropriate Minister or Government Department. These issues can range from constituents requiring guidance as to which level of government they need to contact and the manner in which to do this, liaising with Centrelink, the Department of Immigration, Child Support Agency, Customs, Treasury, up to and including the Prime Ministers office. One of my other responsibilities is liaising with community groups and assisting them and supporting them to access grant information and applications as well as letters of support from the local member.

  Brisbane Bandits

  Jan 2010 - Jan 2013

  Volunteer Coordinator

  Whist this is a voluntary position with the Australian Baseball League it is a role that has offered me many opportunities to expand my horizons and work within event and sports management. I was requested and supported to develop this position and the volunteer positions by the Brisbane Bandits General Manager Paul Gonzales.My role with the Brisbane Bandits is to source and train volunteers in the many voluntary roles within the organisation, these roles include, ticket sales, on-field presentation, management of teams both home and away, field preparations, hosting international players and officials, game day set up, and problem solving strategies so that the game series continues. As I was responsible for developing these roles and felt it necessary to have the ability to work in these positions and have a full understanding of the requirements of the position so that I was able to find a natural fit of volunteer to position. I also believe it good practice to take on board comments by the volunteers working in these positions to make improvements to the role. Show less
