Living in Community: Real Stories

Meet Jasmine ‘Jaz’

When Jaz moved to Wadeye 4.5 years ago, she wasn’t sure what to expect. Now, she can’t imagine being anywhere else.

“I initially came out here for a job with the local community store. I met an amazing group of people through work and fell in love with the place. Its home now.”

Jaz began as our Wadeye Administration Officer before moving into a new position as Post Officer Coordinator. Most recently, she has started her new role as Community Safety Patrol Coordinator supporting staff across Wadeye, Palumpa and Peppimenarti. Her days are a mix of training staff in the Post Office, liaising with Council and stakeholders, and managing Community Safety Patrol teams.   

More than just work



Outside of work, Jaz enjoys going fishing and hanging with friends at the beach. 

Her advice to anyone considering the move?

“Give it a go, it’s not always easy, but it’s meaningful, and you’ll meet so many likeminded people.”
