About us

Tourism Central Australia (TCA) is the peak regional tourism organisation covering the Central Australia region that encompasses the local government areas of Barkly, Central Desert, MacDonnell and Alice Springs Town Council.

TCA is one of two official Regional Tourism Organisations (RTOs) in the Northern Territory (NT). TCA is a not for profit membership-based organisation. It currently employs a range of skilled staff across the region and is governed by a Board of Management.

TCA is responsible for marketing Central Australia, providing member businesses with advice and industry insights and support, operating the Alice Springs and Tennant Creek Visitor Information Centres and advocating to Government and stakeholders on behalf of our members for pro-tourism policies and developments.

As a business led organisation, we work in partnership with a wide variety of stakeholders including individuals, businesses and all levels of government, to benefit the visitor economy in the Central Australia.

TCA has a membership of over 450 small, medium, and large sized organisations directly investing in TCA to deliver the work it does to foster growth of the sector and the region.

Tourism Central Australia is staffed by a small, vibrant and energetic team. Based in Alice Springs, we are passionate about promoting Central Australia and The Barkly region, supporting and developing our region's tourism industry, and providing world-class customer service to our visitors.

Current Opportunities:

Head of Operations Vacancy

Lead the Team That Welcomes the World to Central Australia.

A senior leadership role covering operations, commercial growth and people — set against the Red Centre's biggest landscapes.

Tourism Central Australia is looking for a Head of Operations to run our commercial and visitor operations across Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Yulara, driving new growth, and fostering a positive corporate culture.

Why this is an amazing opportunity

  • Genuine seniority, real influence. This is a true leadership-table role — a direct report to the CEO with the authority to deputise, shape strategy, and represent one of only two Regional Tourism Organisations in the Northern Territory.
  • Rare breadth in one role. Operations, commercial development and whole-of-agency HR, all in a single mandate. It's the kind of varied, high-impact remit that's hard to find anywhere else in the sector.
  • A setting unlike any other. Lead teams across Alice Springs, Tennant Creek and Yulara, at the literal centre of Australia — working at the frontline of one of the country's most iconic visitor economies.

If you've led tourism operations before, know what it takes to run a visitor-facing business, and want your next role to actually matter — we want to hear from you.
