WHO WE ARE

Go Gentle Australia (GGA) is a small team making a big difference to end-of-life care.

In 2026, Go Gentle Australia marks 10 years of making a big difference to end-of-life care. Founded by broadcaster Andrew Denton, we’re the national charity best known for helping secure voluntary assisted dying laws in every Australian state and the ACT - giving terminally ill people who are suffering the right to apply for medical assistance to end their life.

Our work is not finished. We advocate for accessible, compassionate and person-centred VAD laws, amplify the voices of dying people and their families, support health professionals providing VAD care, and use evidence to improve end-of-life care across Australia.

THE ROLE

We are currently looking for a switched-on and proactive administrator to support our Operations Manager with projects and the day-to-day running of a busy national charity. Together, they will take care of all aspects of operational functions of GGA including: finance, IT hardware and systems, governance, events, travel, risk and administration as well as team coordination.

We’re open to candidates at different career stages. Whether you’re starting out with a willingness to learn and gain experience by doing, an administrator looking for a part-time role that fits around study, family or other commitments, someone returning to the workforce after a break, or an experienced administrator looking to step back from a full-time role, we want to hear from you.
