Cultural Heritage Officer

Cultural Heritage Officers ensure the protection of heritage buildings, monuments, artefacts, and places of cultural significance. They develop and implement an organisation’s cultural heritage management program and may work closely with management executives during policy development and strategic planning.

As a Cultural Heritage Officer you could be leading a local government Heritage Advisory Committee, investigating funding opportunities to protect a heritage site, inspecting heritage buildings and assessing cultural sites, researching archives and heritage legislation, developing and writing up a project plan, or collaborating with indigenous community leaders on suitable ways to promote a culturally significant artefact.
