About our Node Managers

Node Managers are the Northern Hub’s on-the-ground representatives, working directly within their regions to support communities, landholders, and local organisations to strengthen drought and climate resilience. Node Managers are employed by trusted organisations across the Northern Territory and North-Western Australia who have partnered with the Northern Hub to support the formation of the Node Manager network.

Northern Hub Node Managers represent the Northern Hub at events and gatherings across their region. They’re equipped to speak about current Northern Hub projects, broader Future Drought Fund (FDF) initiatives, and other activities that support resilience in agriculture and regional communities. By sharing this knowledge, they help connect the region with opportunities, resources, and practical solutions. Node Managers also play an active role in delivering Hub project in their area — from workshops and field days to extension events and community engagement.

Node Managers are also tasked to identify new opportunities for their region. Whether it’s identifying a promising project idea, a gap in extension materials, or a chance to collaborate, they work to identify local needs and help shape events and projects that strengthen their region’s drought preparedness and long-term climatic resilience.
