Reporting to the Manager, Brand and Communications, this role plays a key part in the day-to-day delivery of FRRR’s digital presence, including social media, website content, newsletters and EDMs. The Coordinator works closely with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to ensure content is timely, accurate, visually engaging and aligned with FRRR’s brand voice.

Who we are

FRRR (Foundation for Rural & Regional Renewal) supports remote, rural, and regional communities across Australia to be vibrant, resilient, and sustainable. We work alongside communities to catalyse locally led solutions, especially in areas facing systemic challenges.

We are strategically focussed on supporting impact across five cross-cutting themes:

• Next generation transition
• Outback and very remote communities
• Climate solutions
• Disaster Resilience
• First Nations self-determination

Our core values centre around collaboration and constant improvement. We have created a dynamic, flexible, and supportive work environment. FRRR is an Equal Opportunity employer.

Our 2026 - 2028 Strategic Plan

FRRR has launched its 2026–2028 Strategic Plan: A Catalytic FRRR for the Next Generation of Rural and Remote Australia. At the heart of this new and ambitious strategy, is the recognition that rural and remote communities are vital to Australia’s identity, wellbeing and future, yet the systems that shape access to funding, services, infrastructure and decision-making are largely designed for metropolitan and regional centres. This creates persistent barriers to inclusion, investment and voice.

Despite these challenges, rural and remote communities continue to demonstrate resilience, creativity and care. FRRR exists to bridge this systemic gap. We connect resources, build enduring local skills and knowledge, and reshape how rural and remote Australia is seen, valued and supported. We listen to aspirations, attract and direct targeted investment, facilitate capacity and community-building infrastructure, and advocate for stronger dialogue between communities, government and metro Australia.

Our approach is grounded in community-led development, collaboration and a deep understanding of complexity and system change. This works because we:

• work in a place-based way that embraces the diversity of communities;
• partner with First Nations people and communities;
• support young people and the next generation; and 
• we engage strategically with the challenges of climate change and disaster resilience.

These themes underpin our five strategic pillars:

• Strengthen support where FRRR makes the biggest difference
• Influence change for better rural futures
• Smarter use of funding and capital to drive change
• Leverage systems and technology to improve our impact
• Make rural insight and FRRR’s impact visible and powerful

Delivering on this strategy requires a team that will not only support the plan but elevate it; bringing energy, expertise and experience to ensure FRRR achieves catalytic, enduring impact for the next generation of rural and remote Australia.
