This exceptional profit-for purpose organisation was first established in Brisbane almost 20 years ago in response to need. Today, as a unique medium sized enterprise, it works tirelessly towards one purpose. And that is to enhance the lives of children with neurodevelopmental disorders - and their families - through evidence-based, trans-disciplinary early intervention programs and practical support.

Neurodevelopment is unique to each individual : so, developmental disorders affect each individual differently. Even as research continues, relatively little is known about the causes. What IS certain is that the right early interventions can - and does - make a difference. And that applies whether the child is one who will go on and live a relatively normal life, or an individual who is going to require lifelong specialist support and care.

Tailored education, programs, therapy and practical support helps a child develop important skills. Encouraged to be independent, they learn to communicate and respond to opportunities for social inclusion. So, no matter how profound the challenges, everyone in these programs has the opportunity for a better life!

There are over 10 centres operating throughout various States within Australia including nine in Queensland, with national expansion squarely on the drawing board. Funding comes (primarily) through the NDIS and subsidised childcare, with fundraising and philanthropy making up the balance. So, this is a prime prospect for an accomplished fundraiser - with shrewd business / financial acumen and entrepreneurial talent - to grow and shape initiatives to take this essential organisation into the future.

With a wide supporter database and fundraising channels that already include individual giving, community partnerships, and income from trusts, grants and foundations, there is immense scope for strategic growth and plentiful opportunities to develop key campaigns, events and appeals.

To be considered for this career-shaping leadership role - where you will be helping children lead their best lives - you need to be an exceptional, experienced and proven fundraiser with a particular aptitude for driving business growth.

Organised and creative, entrepreneurial but grounded, you are personable, an engaging communicator and optimistic presenter, who is driven by a need to provide practical, measurable support to vulnerable children and their families.
