youth, and community services to thousands of Australians every
day. None of this would be possible without our unique Y

to lead the way in strategic partnerships, advocacy and
philanthropy. But let’s face it. We work to live! So,
let’s start with your impressive perks:

your bag, you’ll love it…

objectives as your guide to articulate how we’ll lift our
sustainable income to support our mission. You’ll then build
your tactical plan to advocate for our children & young people
and identify and secure funding opportunities. But no two days will
be the same as you connect and build relationships with a variety
of internal and external stakeholders. Sounds interesting? Check
