We are seeking highly experienced and driven communications professionals to join our Education and Public Affairs (EPA) team.

As a Senior Communications and Media Officer, you will provide your expertise and assist with a project to lift the competence and confidence of low-resource and at-risk charities by providing event management expertise or developing guidance and tools.

Depending on the role, you will either:

Communications and Content:

Design and develop communications and education products, including coordinating the production of publications, reports, online learning, guidance and tools, webinars and podcasts. You’ll ensure content aligns with relevant standards, procedures and the ACNC Style Guide, and translate complex concepts into engaging and accessible materials for diverse audiences. You’ll be media savvy and adept at scanning the setting for issues and risks.

Events and Education:

Plan and deliver events that build the competence and confidence of low-resourced and at-risk charities. You’ll drive a program of events for charities,



organising logistics (venue, suppliers, speakers) and promotion and evaluation. You’ll work with internal and external stakeholders to design and deliver tailored learning and engagement activities that meet the needs of the charity sector.

Across both roles, you’ll collaborate with business partners across the ACNC to develop high-quality content and education initiatives. You’ll also guide and mentor less experienced staff, contributing to capability development and a culture of continuous improvement.

This role may be offered on an ongoing or non-ongoing basis in Melbourne CBD. If you are found suitable but do not receive a job offer, we’ll add you to a list of people we can contact about similar jobs that become available. This is called a merit pool.

We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, culturally and linguistically diverse people and people with disability to apply.
