We work to assist migrants in transition to ensure they have their humanitarian needs met and are participating and included in Australian society.

We seek to support people who are particularly vulnerable due to their circumstances, for example, people seeking protection, with restricted access to support and services, or vulnerable to exploitation.

We work directly with those seeking help, irrespective of their legal status, their background, or how they arrived in Australia.

What you’ll bring:

• Sound knowledge and understanding of the issues impacting migrants in transition in the community, and inclusion issues more broadly
• Proven ability to build relationships and collaborate effectively with a diverse range of internal and external stakeholders
• Strong communication, presentation and facilitation skills. Experience facilitating to groups of young people would be ideal
• High level project admin skills, including ability to develop reports and maintain records / databases
• Experience in recruitment, management, engagement and development of volunteers
• Demonstrated cultural competence and the ability to work with people from diverse backgrounds
• A Working with Children check is a mandatory requirement for this role
