The Settlement Council of Australia (SCOA) is the peak body representing Australia’s migrant and refugee services. Together with our 129 member organisations, we lead the settlement sector and broader society towards our vision of an Australia where all people of migrant and refugee backgrounds belong, thrive and experience fulfilling lives. We value a collaborative approach to our work, ensuring we maintain trusted relationships by listening, partnering, and being accountable to our members, migrant, refugee communities, and other partners.

Reporting directly to the CEO, the Communications Lead will be responsible for planning, development and implementation of SCOA’s communications and marketing strategy, supporting the communications components of various SCOA projects, driving impactful strategies to enhance media presence and elevate brand awareness.

Your duties will also involve deciphering analytics, pulling together information for newsletters, online content, and producing PR materials for external media, including media releases and opinion pieces.

About You:

- You possess exceptional written communication skills, evidenced by your ability to produce a wide range of materials including press releases, digital content, and speeches.
- Your expertise extends beyond communication, as you demonstrate outstanding teamwork and project management skills, fostering collaboration among diverse stakeholders.
- You exercise cultural sensitivity and nuance in your work, ensuring communications are appropriately tailored to migrant and refugee communities, and you align seamlessly with SCOA’s vision of social cohesion and belonging.
