The people who work at Tennis are team players: they are imaginative, humble, collaborative and, above all, excellent. They understand the fun and entertainment that our sport delivers, but also the social, commercial and community impact we have.
Fostering a workplace that is diverse and equitable is a high priority for Tennis ACT. We strongly encourage women, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people who identify as LGBTQI, people with a disability and people from culturally diverse backgrounds to apply.
