The Salvation Army (TSA) is a nationwide, multi-functional Not-For-Profit organisation with rapidly expanding internal business units across Property, Aged Care and Finance. With International reach, our Australian presence is highly visible with 10,000 employees in over 1,500 locations. We have been making a significant contribution and impact to Australian communities for over 150 years.

A major corporate restructure has begun to join two existing Eastern (NSW, QLD, ACT) and Southern (NT, SA, TAS, VIC, WA) territories into one unified organisation under the leadership of a National Commander. This will deliver a single Australia territory with an aligned vision, united voice, stronger partnerships, better stewardship and the ability to make an even greater impact on the many people who depend on our services. 

As a direct result of evolving into this next exciting stage, several opportunities have opened up across the organisation that require highly skilled and motivated people to deliver a range of directives.
