Today, East Arnhem Regional Council provides career progression across a range of services including Aged Care & Disability Services, Community Night Patrol, Council Offices, Post Offices, Child Care, Libraries, Municipal Services, and Active Communities & Youth Services. Our Council offers a wide range of training and development opportunities ranging from First Aid Certificate, Medium Rigid Licence, Skid Steer Training, Fire Warden Training, Chainsaw Licence, Vocational Education and Training (VET), and much more.
