WHO WE ARE

In Melbourne, water is essential to our way of life.
As caretakers for Melbourne’s water cycle, we care for water, life and land throughout Melbourne: both its people and its biodiversity.
Each time you drink from the tap, flush a toilet, run through a yard sprinkler, or kayak down the Yarra, we’re there. Primed and ready, quietly delivering some of the world’s cleanest water for over five million residents and wildlife that call Melbourne home, just as we have for over 130 years.
If you value making it count, diving in with curiosity, and doing what’s right, you’re in the right place.

Are you passionate about shaping the way communities understand and value water?
Join our Corporate Communications team as the Water Literacy Education Program Lead, a full-time, permanent role reporting to the Manager Water Literacy.
In this dynamic position, you’ll be at the forefront of designing and delivering engaging, innovative education programs that spark curiosity and build trust with schools and communities across Melbourne.

Your work will directly support Melbourne Water’s Water Literacy Strategy and deliver on our legislative obligations under the Statement of Obligations (Water Act).
