WHO WE ARE

Join Go Gentle Australia - a small team making a big difference to end-of-life care.

We are a national charity founded in 2016 by Andrew Denton and known for our role in legalising voluntary assisted dying laws in all six Australian states. These laws mean eligible people who are terminally ill can ask their doctor for medication to end their life.

Voluntary assisted dying returns power and control to the dying person, providing choice, comfort and relief to them and their loved ones. Now the laws are up and running in all six states - and under consideration in the Territories - you’ll join us at a pivotal time.

We work in a vibrant, airy, shared office space in Darlinghurst with easy access to the city, green space and too many cafes to count. We welcome dogs to the office. We're a caffeine-powered, fast paced, fun and friendly team who believe in a positive work-life balance. Flexible working is welcomed.
