Step into a strong organisation ready for its next era of national influence.

Over the past couple of years, Carers Australia has done the hard work. Under the leadership of outgoing CEO Annabel Reid and a committed Executive team, the organisation has strengthened its operations, and finances, rebuilt culture, and built stronger trust with its stakeholders.

The opportunity ahead
As CEO, you will lead an ambitious next chapter, one where Carers Australia transitions from a well-performing organisation to a position of genuine national influence delivering tangible outcomes for the nation’s 3 million unpaid carers.

You will:

• Lead national advocacy and policy impact across the three strategic pillars of Recognition, Remuneration and Respite.
• Maintain a collaborative, supportive federated network.
• Diversify and grow revenue, including through philanthropy, partnerships and grants.
