Ready to Apply?

Hi, I’m Steph from the Heart Foundation 👋 I know job applications can be stressful, so let’s keep it simple. You don’t need to answer selection criteria, and cover letters are totally optional (just keep it to one page if you include one). Every application is read by a real person, not AI.

There’s no strict closing date. We’ll start reviewing applications as they come in and close once we’ve found the right person, so don’t wait too long. If you need any adjustments during the process, just email me at careers@heartfoundation.org.au and I’ll make sure you’re supported.

All offers are subject to standard pre-employment checks (like a National Criminal History Check and Working with Children Check where required ).
