About the Organisation

The National Parks Conservation Trust (Parks Trust) connects people who want to act now and change the future for Australia's plants, animals and traditional cultures.


Their purpose is to protect and conserve the natural and cultural environment within Commonwealth national parks and gardens and their wider regions and their vision is to turn around the decline in Australian native species and their abundance.

The Parks Trust aims to do this by working with people who care about the healthy future for our environment and who value the rich culture of the First Peoples of our nation.

To be successful in this role you will have:

  • Strong knowledge and experience cultivating donor engagement plans, stewardship plans, and processes along with the understanding of moving management of donors from lead generation through to gift conversion
