KTA Staff

KTA staff manage the daily operations of the authority. This includes liaising with Kokoda communities, Kokoda trekking tour operators, government agencies and media, on-track management, as well as collection and distribution of a proportion of the trek fees to Kokoda Track communities .

Through the Kokoda Initiative, the Australian Government currently provides funding for a selection of KTA staff positions, to assist the Papua New Guinea (PNG) Government to effectively manage the Kokoda Track. The PNG Government, through the management committee, is responsible for the KTA’s strategic direction and operational decision-making.

The KTA also directly funds a number of PNG staff, and is recruiting ‘PNG counterpart’ positions within the organisation to continue to transfer skills and build capacity.
