About Us

Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia and every day, 50 people in Australia lose their lives to heart disease. As Australia's leading heart health charity, the Heart Foundation's mission is to change this and make heart health achievable for everyone.

About the Role

We're after someone with campaign smarts, sharp instincts, and a hunger to make things happen. This is a hands-on role right at the coalface of political advocacy where strategy turns into action and real change is the goal.

Based in Canberra, you'll team up with the Head of Advocacy to roll out targeted campaigns that influence policy, unlock funding, and get decision-makers on board at all levels of government.

You'll come in with political nous, a strong network, and a knack for spotting the moment ready to build momentum behind issues that matter. You know how to read a room, write a sharp brief, and get the right people talking.

This is your chance to lead from the front: shaping the strategy, building alliances, briefing MPs, hosting events that land, and making sure heart health stays on the agenda.

Your Key Responsibilities

  • Work alongside the Head of Advocacy to roll out our agenda across federal, state and local governments — with a focus on campaigns that shift policy, secure funding and drive change where it counts.
  • Bring your political network and people skills to the table — building trusted relationships across the aisle with MPs, advisers, public servants and sector leaders.
  • Spot the moments that matter — and use them to influence policy, legislation or funding decisions that improve heart health.
  • Team up with like-minded organisations to build strong alliances and push shared priorities further.
