Are you a relationship builder who sees possibilities others might miss — and knows how to turn a promising conversation into a lasting partnership?
Do you enjoy shaping strategy, opening doors and putting practical systems behind good ideas?
Are you comfortable working closely with a small team where your judgement and initiative can help shape what comes next?
SEE Together is seeking an experienced, entrepreneurial fundraiser to build the next stage of our fundraising program.
About SEE Together
SEE Together is a for-purpose Australian eye care development organisation.
In many parts of the world, access to a straightforward eye test or pair of glasses is still hard to come by.
We champion, train and equip local practitioners and trainers, and work alongside trusted partners to strengthen the services, glasses supply and referral pathways that support their work.
Our aim is lasting, quality eye care delivered to the community, by the community — reaching further so more people can access the care they need.
Building on more than 20 years of our founder's volunteer work in Mongolia, local training teams now deliver hybrid courses, with graduates bringing eye care closer in all 21 provinces.
Our work has since grown to include partnerships in India, with a vision for clear sight to reach many more communities and countries.
