About Us:

Full Stop Australia is a not-for-profit organisation, operating nationally, but based in Sydney's Inner West. Our mission is to put a full stop to sexual, domestic and family violence and to support those who have been impacted by violence and abuse. We also offer best-practice training and professional services to support safe and respectful workplaces, and advocate for changes to laws, policies, and practices to better prevent and respond to sexual, domestic and family violence.

Our advocacy draws upon the expertise of our trauma-specialist counsellors, who support people impacted by sexual, domestic and family violence across the country. It also draws on the lived expertise of over 700 survivor-advocates in Full Stop Australia’s National Survivor Advocate Program (NSAP).

About the Role:

The development of the Lived Expertise ‘Ideas to Action’ Incubator recognises that it’s impossible to address the epidemic of sexual, domestic and family violence without leveraging the expertise of people directly impacted by it. The Incubator aims to expand opportunities for survivor-advocates to influence policy development and engage in advocacy in the fields of sexual, domestic and family violence, and build community with like-minded survivors.

This dynamic role involves working with internal and external stakeholders to plan events, develop partnerships and support participants in the Lived Expertise ‘Ideas to Action’ Incubator to build community. The Project Officer – Lived Expertise Incubator will also help shape and coordinate the work of Full Stop Australia’s National Survivor Advocate Program, to maintain relationships for the purpose of recruitment to and management of the Incubator Program.
