Drive Christian Influence across NSW and ACT

Influencing an entire state take courageous people driven by conviction who bring compassion and a servant heart to their working relationships. We’re looking for all of these qualities in a proactive, highly organised person to support ACL’s NSW/ACT Director in strengthening our volunteer network, coordinating the campaigns, events and communications that amplify Christianity’s voice and influence in the public square.

About us

The vision of the Australian Christian Lobby (ACL) is to see Christian principles and ethics influencing the way we are governed, do business, and relate to each other as a community.

With over 250,000 supporters Australia-wide, ACL facilitates professional engagement and dialogue between the Christian constituency and government, amplifying the voice of Christianity in the public square. ACL is neither party-partisan nor denominationally aligned, bringing a Christian perspective to policy in Federal, State and Territory Parliaments.

The role

Reporting to the NSW/ACT Director, you’ll provide high-quality administrative and coordination support across ACL’s state and territory operations. Your purpose is to bring organisation, consistency and momentum to the work of the Director, volunteers and supporters, helping campaigns and engagement activities achieve meaningful impact.

You’ll manage correspondence, calendars, meetings, enquiries and records, while coordinating volunteer recruitment, onboarding, training and communications. You’ll also support campaign logistics, events and stakeholder engagement, assist with parliamentary and public policy research, and help prepare campaign resources and supporter communications.

As a key point of connection, you’ll help manage state inboxes, digital content,



donor follow-up and relationships with supporters, churches and community stakeholders. This is a varied, hands-on role that calls for initiative, sound judgement, attention to detail and a genuine desire to serve people and advance ACL’s mission.

- Build warm, effective relationships with volunteers, supporters and stakeholders.
- Can coordinate meetings, events and campaign activities while balancing competing priorities.
- Communicate clearly and have an interest in Australia’s political and public policy landscape.
- Bring initiative, discretion, accuracy and a genuine heart to serve ACL’s mission.

What you’ll bring

- Demonstrated experience providing administrative or executive support, including managing calendars, correspondence, and meetings.
- Experience coordinating volunteers, events, campaigns or community engagement activities.
- Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage professionally with supporters, donors and stakeholders.
- Experience in advocacy, campaigning, or Christian values-based organisations.

- Active membership of a Christian church.
