Role Title: LOLO Operating Model and Boundary Architect Intern

Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)
Location: Belmont
This internship supports the Log On / Log Off (LOLO) project by helping document how LOLO operates in practice and how responsibilities are shared between Marine Rescue Groups, MRCS, DFES, and Water Police.
The intern will work with existing project materials to clearly describe roles, responsibilities, decision points, and escalation boundaries. The focus of the role is understanding and documenting how the system is intended to work, rather than operational decision-making or policy approval.
The outputs from this role will help reduce confusion, support safe operations, and provide clear reference material that can be used across Marine Rescue Groups and supporting agencies.
