WHO WE ARE
Emu Gully Adventure Education Group exists to ‘Shape Great Australians’.
We believe in the power of the outdoors. Through shared experience, challenge, and responsibility, we inspire participants to discover what they’re truly capable of. We operate a 280-acre site at Helidon Spa and a growing 65-acre site at Tamborine — and we’re currently looking for a passionate, grounded person to help us deliver experiences that leave a mark at our Helidon site.
THE ROLE
As a Facilities Assistant, you’ll be a hands-on member of the Emu Gully team, making sure our sites are clean, safe, and operational at all times. You’ll work across groundskeeping, building maintenance, and activity support — and you’ll do it with pride, because the condition of our site is part of the experience our participants have.
