About the role

Our Recovery Retreats are to a range of destinations, and we’re always planning our next supported getaways. We journey to a variety of popular tourist destinations including holiday houses beside the sea, on mountainsides with beautiful views, or from some of Australia’s stunning and peaceful bushlands.
