About WIRE

We are a proud intersectional feminist organisation, and we are committed to creating a fair society for all women, gender diverse, and non-binary people. We see ourselves as initiators of change. We have been actively involved in addressing systemic barriers to gender equity for over 40 years.

We take a proactive stance on issues related to gender inequity which often leads us to areas less explored and often overlooked. For us, gender equity is about meeting individuals where they are and allocating resources and opportunities as needed to create equal outcomes for all members of our society.

We recognised many years ago that economic equity plays a key role in achieving gender equity. Therefore, in the past 17 years, we have focused our efforts on developing practical solutions for improving economic outcomes for all women and gender diverse people. We seek to ensure everyone has a fair opportunity to participate in, contribute to, and benefit from the economic system.

WIRE’s Role in Addressing Gender and Economic Equity

We focus our efforts on creating possibilities for change. We break down the process of change into manageable steps and empower individuals, communities, and organisations to take action.

We achieve this by:

• Providing one-on-one support services for individuals
• Building capacity in community leaders to facilitate change
• Providing consulting services for organisations and professionals
• Sharing WIRE’s knowledge through its knowledge centre
• Helping individuals develop the skills and confidence to advocate for themselves and their communities
• By creating possibilities, we ensure that change, though slow and sometimes daunting, remains achievable and doable.

WIRE welcomes applications from women, non-binary and gender-diverse people, especially from Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island communities, or who are multilingual or are from culturally diverse communities. WIRE acknowledges the skills and knowledge acquired through lived experience. This could include experiences of marginalisation such as migrancy, racialisation, extended financial insecurity and family violence. We would love to hear from people who can utilise the skills and knowledge they have gained from lived experience for this role.

All employees at WIRE are required to undergo a Police Check and a Working with Children Check to confirm they are fit to work with WIRE service users and program participants. Convictions relating to assault, harassment or violence may indicate an applicant is not suitable to work at WIRE. However, we know that many people are unfairly criminalised, particularly those who have experienced family violence and who are part of marginalised communities. We invite people who have relevant experience to apply for this role and to have a confidential discussion about the circumstances of any conviction which might be considered a barrier to your employment at WIRE.

If you have any questions or would like to discuss the role in more detail, please contact the Manager Operations, Elena Ashley at email: [email protected] using the subject line: Development Administrator enquiry via EthicalJobs.
