About the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre

Founded in 2001, the Asylum Seeker Resource Centre (ASRC) is Australia's largest human rights organisation providing support to people seeking asylum.

We are an independent not-for-profit organisation whose programs support and empower people seeking asylum to maximise their own physical, mental and social well being.

We champion the rights of people seeking asylum and mobilise a community of compassion to create lasting social and policy change.

We are a value-driven organisation that strives to be part of a change movement that supports people seeking asylum by providing critical services such as assistance with accommodation, food provisions, casework and legal services.

The ASRC movement is proudly supported by a community of committed volunteers and supporters who embrace the organisation's vision that people seeking asylum can live safely, sustainably, independently and equally.

Our Values

The human rights of people seeking asylum and refugees are at the foundation of all we do and the workforce makes it happen, doing the work to bring the vision and purpose to life.


Our organisational values are:

  • Welcoming
  • Authentic
  • Courageous
  • Collaborative
About The Role

The Health Program Manager is the most senior Health role within the ASRC, with overall accountability for the quality and impact of the ASRC's Health Program.

This role ensures that the program continually delivers an integrative approach to service access and information to people while in the refugee determination process

Leading a multidisciplinary clinic and team that offers a number of services including general practice, immunisation, psychiatry, pharmacy program and allied health services, this nurse-led clinic works in partnership with other services within the Humanitarian Operations and Resilience Department to ensure a seamless service delivery and experience for all of the ASRC's clients.

This role is critical in ensuring the ASRC is effectively data-driven, productively partnered and a powerful advocate in ensuring Australia's most recognised voices in the defence of asylum seekers' right to a healthy life.

About You

  • Relevant Master's degree or higher and/or demonstrated commensurate service delivery and management experience
  • Demonstrated experience in a combination of technical, research, and public advocacy within the health sector
  • Proven experience creating and managing highperforming teams including building shared objectives, quality control, evaluation, motivation, performance management, staff development and training
  • Proven ability to independently manage complex workloads and prepare written reports on program outcomes for a wide range of stakeholders
  • A clear understanding of and commitment to inequality and antidiscriminatory practice e.g. gender and disability analysis in informing programmes and policy
  • High degree of flexibility and adaptability with the ability to work independently and cooperatively in a team environment
  • Current CPR and First Aid certificates
Lived experience of seeking asylum in Australia is highly desirable.

Knowledge of policy and issues impacting on people seeking asylum in Australia as well as previous experience working within a not-for-profit environment, would also be advantageous.
