About the role
The Media and Communications Coordinator plays a key role in delivering the TAC’s media strategy, sharing vital road safety messages and other organisational updates with the Victorian community via print, broadcast, and digital media.

The team operates in a collaborative and fast-paced environment, supporting one another through daily priorities that evolve quickly. Team members value open communication, shared problem-solving, and in-office collaboration. You will be supported by a Team Manager who encourages autonomy, while remaining available for guidance, feedback, and coaching whenever needed.
