ABOUT AUSTRALIANS TOGETHER

Australians Together is a not-for-profit organisation that believes better outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people begin with a change in perspective of all Australians. We help non-Indigenous people learn the true story of our shared history, understand how it’s still having an impact today and find meaningful ways to respond. We support educators to confidently embed First Nations histories, cultures and perspectives into their teaching. We do this by creating curriculum resources and delivering Professional Learning workshops to teachers. We also have resources for workplaces, churches, and all people who call Australia home. 

THE ROLE

As a Graphic Designer, you’ll work under the direction of the Visual Design Specialist to contribute to the expanding suite of Australians Together curriculum resources. You’ll play a key role in assisting with design and production of unit guides and handouts.

We encourage First Nations people and people from diverse cultures, abilities and identities to apply. 

YOU ARE:

• an excellent designer: you can create and implement designs that will engage audiences in simple and compelling ways that align with our brand and templates
• a brand custodian: you ensure all curriculum resources reflect our brand, standards and guidelines across all mediums
• project management savvy: you can plan, juggle and organise multiple stakeholders or projects and tasks of various sizes, to ensure everything’s running smoothly and there’s great communication with all parties
• proactive and have a can-do attitude: you’re an enthusiastic and motivated self-starter with a can-do approach. Although you thrive in a team environment, you can work independently, when needed, to achieve set goals
