Our Watch will be recruiting a significant number of newly created roles over the next 12 months following a record investment from the federal government, and as we prepare to deliver on the second National Plan to Reduce Violence against Women and Children 2022-32.

We will be recruiting for a range of newly created roles (in addition to existing roles) to reach more people in more places, as we continue our work to embed gender equality, and prevent violence where Australians live, learn, work and socialise.

As a national leader in the prevention of violence against women, this is an exciting period of growth for the organisation, and the work we do to make Australia a safer and more equal place for women.

At Our Watch we are:

• collaborative, we do this work together
• optimistic, we believe that change is possible
• creative, we are innovative and brave as we create change
• authentic, we stand behind our work
• inclusive, we embed a diverse range of perspectives in everything we do.

Read more about our values in the Strategic plan 2019-24.

All candidates are encouraged to read Change the story.

Many of our staff work flexibly in many different ways, including part-time, flexible hours, job share, an element of working from home, compressed hours etc. Please talk to us at interview about the flexibility you would like.
