The Organisation
The Australian Council of Social Service (ACOSS) is the peak national body for community and social services and a leading advocate for people affected by poverty and inequality. With more than 300 organisational members – from major charities to small not-for-profits across metro, regional and remote Australia – ACOSS is a powerful voice for change.

The Role
As the Administrative Assistant, you'll play a central role in keeping the ACOSS national office running smoothly, while also supporting key internal teams including operations, people and culture, and membership.
This is a varied and engaging role where you'll manage reception duties, coordinate team engagement, meetings and events, and support day-to-day administrative needs across the organisation.

Your strong organisation skills and collaborative approach will make you a valued part of the ACOSS team.
