Are you a practical, hands-on professional with a passion for audio-visual technology and facilities support? The Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences at Macquarie University is looking for a Facilities & AV Assistant to join its Faculty Administration team on a casual basis.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a vital role in supporting one of Australia's most innovative health sciences faculties. You'll be at the heart of the action — setting up teaching spaces, operating cutting-edge clinical simulation equipment, and ensuring seamless AV delivery across lecture theatres, meeting rooms, and remote locations. If you thrive in a dynamic, team-oriented environment and enjoy keeping things running behind the scenes, this role is for you.

Macquarie University is building the nation's first fully integrated academic health sciences centre under a university's leadership, bringing together world-leading clinical resources, research facilities, and education programs — and you'll be part of the team that makes it happen every day.

About the Role

As the Facilities & AV Assistant, you will provide essential audio-visual and facilities support across the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, reporting to the Faculty Operations Manager. Key responsibilities include:

• Setting up and arranging rooms with clinical and teaching equipment for classes and events, including furniture arrangement and equipment placement as directed.
• Monitoring consumable levels in clinical teaching rooms and student facilities, replenishing stock as required.
• Supporting MD course logistics and teaching activities.
• Setting up and operating audio-visual equipment in Faculty lecture theatres, meeting rooms, and remote locations under the guidance of the Clinical and Technical Facilities Team Lead.
• Providing AV support for FMHHS teaching and meeting spaces.
• Assisting with routine maintenance and testing of the Faculty's simulation and teaching equipment and building infrastructure, escalating any issues identified to appropriate support services.

Please note: This role requires work outside of standard business hours to support events and requires comfort working in a clinical, medical environment.
