We’re the Australian Conservation Foundation, Australia’s national environment organisation.
Since 1965, we’ve protected the air we breathe, the water we drink and the places we love. Driven by the power of people, we won World Heritage listing for the Great Barrier Reef and Kakadu National Park; we secured the $10 billion national clean energy bank and we returned precious water to the rivers of the Murray-Darling.
We influence governments and businesses to protect the animals, rivers and reefs close to our hearts and hold decision-makers to account without fear or favour. Everything we do is evidence-based and helps nature and people thrive for generations to come.
We won’t give up until Australia’s nature is protected and regenerated.
Work with us to drive a bold, system-wide transition to a sustainable food system.
The Food and Agriculture Campaigner will lead an ambitious strategy to increase government and corporate support for farmers to protect and restore nature on land they manage and drive a transition to a food system that works for nature and people. You will build an alliance of farmer groups, agricultural and food businesses, and experts to co-develop and advocate for policy solutions and funding. They will work with ACF’s Nature and Corporate campaigners to secure support for those solutions from decision-makers in government, finance, and the food industry.
You have experience working with regional communities and understand the issues facing Australian agriculture.
You know how to build impactful alliances with diverse stakeholders.
You are a strong and engaging communicator, able to meet people where they are at and bring them with you.
You show initiative and are able comfortable managing multiple competing demands and challenges.
You love collaborating with people across an organisation, sharing information and maintaining positive relationships with colleagues and external networks.
Finally, you’re a big fan of nature and you’re excited by ACF’s vision of a world where forests, rivers, people and wildlife thrive.
You’ll do important work with one of Australia’s most impactful organisations, and with our world-class organisational culture and great team, we guarantee you’ll have fun along the way.
ACF is proud to offer our staff a supportive workplace with excellent conditions, including:
