Through a busy resource centre, they provide education opportunities, run food security projects, advocate for the rights of women and children and run a Safe House for women facing family and sexual violence. More information about the partnership is here.
Strong and open relationships with our community partners are vital to our work. As Partnership Coordinator, you will be the primary contact with Hako, responsible for the ethical, transparent and timely coordination of the partnership. Specific responsibilities include:
In this role, you will bring your community development experience and passion for gender equity to support our partnership with the Hako Women's Collective. indigo foundation is a virtual organisation and you will join a diverse, passionate and friendly team of staff and volunteers spread throughout Australia.

indigo foundation is an equal opportunity employer – we believe that diversity will make us a stronger organisation and we encourage candidates of all backgrounds to apply. We do not discriminate on the basis of ability, age, gender identity and expression, national origin, race and ethnicity, religious beliefs, sexual orientation, or criminal record.
Full terms of reference and capabilities available on request.
For almost 20 years, indigo foundation has supported grassroots organisations in some of the most marginalised communities in the world to pursue their development goals. We currently partner with 18 local organisations across eight countries.
We support local community partners to empower women and girls, improve education and health outcomes, secure better livelihoods for families and defend their human rights. We believe powerful and positive change is achieved through community control over decision-making, honest communication and building strong local organisations. We know from the evidence that community-led development works to transform lives and build more resilient communities. And we recognise that achieving lasting change often requires advocacy on human rights, and communities working with government and other civil society organisations to address discrimination and gain access to rights and services. Our approach to partnership is built on respect, mutual learning and accepting that progress and setbacks are a normal part of community development.
We are a virtual organisation and are proudly nimble and creative, with committed volunteers and supporters across Australia.
indigo foundation is a child-safe organisation. We require all Partnership Coordinators to sign our Code of Conduct for Working with Children and Young People and to obtain a current Working with Children and Vulnerable People clearance.
