Camp Quality
  • North Sydney location, close to public transport, in a vibrant office
  • Join a dynamic, Marketing team changing the cancer story for kids
  • Permanent, full time with a flexible hybrid working model

Do you want to make a real difference? Come join Camp Quality, a children's cancer charity that has been bringing positivity, fun and laughter back into the lives of kids impacted by cancer for almost 40 years. Camp Quality delivers services and programs free of charge for kids (0-15) and their families at every stage of the cancer experience.

We live by our motto that 'laughter is the best medicine' which means being part of our team involves a happy, connected workplace. At Camp Quality, we appreciate the unique skills and experience each team member contributes and offer an inclusive, supportive culture to help them thrive.

We start meetings with something called Fun Therapy. Fun Therapy creates laughter and positive emotions. It doesn't have to take long or be overly complicated; it could be anything from a quick quiz to a game of heads and tails. Occasionally, we schedule in Fun Therapy Activities to bond us as a team, while at other times we may break out into a spontaneous fun activity.
