TNA’s ten-year vision is for a Safe, Healthy and Relevant performing arts sector.

The role of the Program Manager, Events, Safe Theatres and Circus and Physical Theatre is to work collaboratively with the TNA team to deliver TNA’s key goals:

  • Strengthening artists and arts organisations; and
  • Strengthening the organisation of TNA and its membership.

This position is outward facing, working with deep respect with our members, partners and the wider sector to develop and implement:

This position also supports the organisation more broadly in advocacy campaigns, communication and research.

Each of TNA’s key roles are highly self-directed and self-supported, but you will be part of a great team.
