About the role

Health Justice Australia’s advocacy strategy seeks to influence transformation across health, legal and social policy, by building an understanding of the need for collaborative approaches in response to intersecting health, legal and other need; and of what it takes to fund, design, and deliver those approaches to improve health justice outcomes in people’s lives.

- Experience analysing policy-relevant research, and synthesising this research into relevant, compelling policy advice.
- Good organisational skills, and the capacity to manage multiple and changing priorities in a dynamic and evolving policy environment, without compromising quality of work.
- Demonstrated commitment to, and experience working effectively and collaboratively as part of a team.
- Well-developed relationship management skills, with a capacity to ensure that various stakeholder interests are recognised and managed positively and professionally.
