About Us

Ethical Jobs.com.au is working to change the world, one job at a time.

We bridge the gap between Australians who want to “work for a better world” and the thousands of for-purpose organisations that tirelessly strive to create that better world.

As a successful, for-profit social enterprise and one of Australia’s top job-search sites for the not-for-profit sector and beyond, we support the work of over 10,000 for-purpose organisations around the country, and have a passionate community of 300,000+ unique users visiting the site each month.

We also make regular donations to small organisations that are having a big social or environmental impact across Australia – we’ve donated over $2 million since 2009, and we’ve catalysed over $2.4 million more in donations from the community on top of that.

We’ve consistently grown our overall impact for 17 years since we launched in 2009.

You’ll be joining a dedicated, passionate and successful team of 23 people who share a vision of a more equitable, just and sustainable world.

We work partly remotely, but you have the option to work from our spacious office in Collingwood which has loads of natural light, high ceilings, standing desks, a large outdoor deck for lunch in the sun and drinks after work, and great food and coffee just around the corner.

About the NFP People site

We started the Not-For-Profit People website and blog back in 2012 as a resource for people in the NFP sector – HR professionals, leaders, managers, and volunteer-managers – focused on how to attract, manage, train and retain the best staff and volunteers.

Since then, each month we’ve published 3-8 practical, useful articles to help thousands of Australian NFP organisations to strengthen their people, culture, recruitment and management practices — and to amplify what works well across the sector.

The topics include leadership, managing people well, organisational strategy, HR & recruitment, diversity/equity/inclusion, culture & values, health & wellbeing, legal issues, volunteer management,



people analytics and more.

(Between 2012 and 2023 we also ran the annual Not-For-Profit People Conference at Melbourne Convention Centre, attracting around 500 attendees each year. The conference is not currently running, but you can see a highlights video here).

We’re incredibly proud of the impact that the site and conference have had for the sector over the years. We’ve had feedback from hundreds of different organisations across the country who’ve been helped by our content, like this:

“Thank you for reinvigorating and solidifying my passion for the NFP sector. This [NFP People] conference is such a outstanding opportunity to learn from each other and get new tools to go back and do good work with fresh energy.”
