For almost 90 years Liberty Victoria has advocated for civil liberties and human rights, speaking out when rights and freedoms are threatened by governments or other organisations.

We examine proposed laws and policies that may erode these liberties and rights. We believe that Commonwealth and State legislation should conform fully with Australia’s international human rights obligations and to rights embedded in common law. By mentoring students and young professionals we develop the next generation of human rights advocates through the Rights Advocacy Project.

As a voluntary organisation Liberty Victoria relies on the knowledge, skill and commitment of our members, fund-raising and the support and participation of the wider Victorian and Australian community.

Liberty Victoria is looking for an energetic and motivated person to be its Executive Officer (average 20 hours a week). As the only paid staff member, you will report to the Secretary of Liberty Victoria and support both the Policy and Management Committees.

The role includes administration, membership coordination, basic bookkeeping, coordinating events and monthly committee meetings and facilitating responses to media, member and public enquiries.

It also involves organising public speaking and fundraising events, coordinating website update and maintenance, and social media, drafting and sending member updates and liaising with committee members regarding submissions and other policy work.

Candidates interested in applying for the position would need to have administrative experience, be well organised and be able to work independently and take initiative. Interest in and knowledge of human rights and civil liberties issues will be highly regarded.
