The Equity Project

The Equity Project is a first-of-its-kind social movement that aims to tackle poverty and disadvantage in WA through advocating for systemic change. By engaging with a range of stakeholders (community, business, not-for-profit etc.) we can inform, unite, and mobilise efforts that seek and advocate for solutions to key social issues.

The Equity Project is a collaboration of not-for-profit organisations with Communicare providing the auspice arrangement for affiliated roles.

This role will be located in Cannington on a fixed term part-time basis working 38 hours a fortnight.
