ISC is an environmental organisation founded in 2002 to deliver specialist policy, projects and advocacy to reduce the threat of invasive species. With invasive species consistently ranked as one of the top three threats to biodiversity and the major cause of extinctions of Australian animals, ISC is the leading environmental organisation in Australia with a strong focus in this area.

• Occasionally liaising with ISC’s CEO and book-keeper about governance and oversight for day-to-day financial management

• Capacity to undertake one to six hours of work per month (depending on point within the financial year and budget cycle)

This is an unpaid position.
