About the organisation
Results International (Australia) is part of a global network of organisations working to bring an end to poverty. Results has been operating in Australia for 35 years through a combination of staff-led and volunteer driven advocacy at a grassroots, national and global level.
We are highly respected for our policy and advocacy work and have a high profile within Australia’s Federal Parliament and within the international development sector. At a global level we work closely with our partner ACTION to improve equitable access to health and within Australia we act as the Secretariat to the Australian TB Caucus.
We work with parliamentarians, think tanks, civil society organisations, media and members of the community to influence political decisions that will bring an end to extreme poverty. Our campaigns are focussed on global health, nutrition, education and pandemic preparedness, as well as pushing for an increase in Australia’s overseas aid budget and increased pledges to multilateral bodies that work on global health and poverty alleviation.
Why work at Results?
- Purposeful work - we tackle the big issues. We’re focused on building a world where everyone can go to school, eat nutritious food and live free from deadly diseases, and offer staff meaningful opportunities to make a real difference.
- Autonomous and challenging - we’re a small but mighty team built on high trust and ambitious dreams. We punch above our weight because we empower staff and volunteers to lead.
- Room to grow - we support you to flourish. While you'll have autonomy, you'll also receive training on the job, and the opportunity to try new things and learn from the best.
- Flexible hours and location - our staff are highly committed, sometimes that means working out of hours to join a global call. We offer genuine flexibility and remote working.
- Work life balance - we support everyone to have fulfilling lives outside of work. That's why we offer regular (paid) personal development days throughout the year and gift additional time off between Christmas and New Year.
- Global partners - we work closely with some of the world’s most influential global aid and development organisations so you’ll have exposure to the best and brightest when it comes to effecting change.
Results Australia is committed to diversity and inclusion. We encourage applications from women, First Nations people, people with disabilities, LGBTI and people from culturally diverse backgrounds.
