  • Organised self-starter: You manage your time, plan routes, keep tidy records, and meet targets without constant supervision.
  • Tech-comfortable: Confident using a tablet and following on-screen scripts and protocols exactly as trained.
  • Nice-to-have: experience in field interviewing, door-to-door outreach or sales, call centre/customer service, community work, or education/youth services.
  • Current driver's licence and a reliable, registered vehicle
  • Fluent English (spoken and written) and the legal right to work in Australia
  • Willingness to obtain and pass a National Police Check and Working with Children Check
Benefits:
  • Purpose with impact: Your work will inform policies and services that support young people and families across Australia.

  • Training & support: We equip you with the skills, tools, and guidance to succeed—no previous research experience required.
  • Professional standards: Be part of a respected team known for quality, accuracy, and confidentiality.
How to Succeed:

To be successful in this role, you will need to be a motivated and organised individual with excellent communication skills. You will also need to be comfortable working independently and as part of a team, with the ability to build strong relationships with colleagues and participants.
