HR Advisor – 6-Month Contract Centacare | Brisbane | Full-time | Hybrid working

Practical HR. Real people matters. Work that makes a difference.

Centacare is looking for an experienced HR Advisor to join our People & Culture team for a six-month contract.

This is a hands‑on generalist position for someone who enjoys supporting managers, working through day‑to‑day people matters and helping ensure HR processes are handled fairly, consistently and professionally.

Reporting to the General Manager – People & Culture, you’ll work as part of a collaborative team and provide practical advice across employee relations, performance, workplace concerns, organisational change and broader HR activities.

You’ll have support around you, but you’ll also be trusted to take ownership of matters, prepare documentation, coordinate next steps and follow actions through to completion.

This role could suit an experienced HR Advisor, People & Culture Advisor or HR generalist who is confident managing operational HR matters and is ready to continue building their advisory capability.

About Centacare

Centacare is a purpose‑led, not‑for‑profit organisation supporting individuals, children and families across Queensland.

Our services are available to the whole community, regardless of religion, background, circumstances, age, gender or ability.

We work alongside people experiencing vulnerability and disadvantage, helping them strengthen relationships, navigate challenges and achieve meaningful goals.





Behind those services is a large and diverse workforce — and a People & Culture team committed to giving managers and employees practical, responsive and thoughtful support.

The opportunity

As HR Advisor, you’ll support managers and leaders across a broad range of people matters.

One day, you may be helping a manager prepare for a performance conversation. The next, you could be drafting correspondence, responding to an employee concern, reviewing an Award question or supporting a workplace process.

The role offers plenty of variety and a strong opportunity to deepen your experience across employee relations, industrial relations and generalist HR.

You’ll work closely with more senior members of the People & Culture team on complex or higher‑risk matters, while independently managing day‑to‑day advisory work within your level of experience.

This is a role for someone who enjoys being useful, responsive and close to the work.

What you’ll be doing

Your responsibilities may include:

- Providing practical HR advice and support to managers and employees
- Assisting with employee relations matters, including conduct, grievances and workplace concerns
- Supporting managers through performance and probation processes




- Preparing letters, meeting notes, outcome correspondence and other HR documentation
- Helping coordinate workplace investigations and disciplinary processes
- Interpreting policies, employment conditions, modern Awards and enterprise agreements
- Responding to employee and manager enquiries in a timely and qualified way
- Supporting organisational change and consultation activities
- Assisting with workforce planning and general HR administration
- Maintaining accurate case notes, records and HR documentation
- Supporting onboarding, offboarding and employment lifecycle activities where required
- Contributing to learning, leadership and organisational development initiatives
- Identifying recurring issues and opportunities to improve HR processes
- Working collaboratively across the broader People & Culture team

About you

You’re a practical HR professional who enjoys helping people work through real workplace issues.

You communicate clearly, stay calm when matters are sensitive and know when to resolve something yourself and when to seek more senior support.

You’re comfortable with both the people side and the administrative detail of HR — because you understand that good advice only works when the process and documentation are also handled properly.

You’ll ideally bring:

- Experience as an HR Advisor, People & Culture Advisor, HR Coordinator or generalist with meaningful advisory exposure
- Practical experience supporting employee relations a
