• Make a meaningful difference to the lives of Australians living with eczema.
• Lead a respected not-for-profit organisation through its next stage of growth and impact.
• Manage a capable team while building partnerships, delivering projects and strengthening community awareness.

The Organisation

The Eczema Association of Australasia (EAA) is Australia's leading national patient support organisation dedicated to improving the lives of people impacted by eczema.

For more than 30 years, EAA has provided trusted information, education, advocacy and support to individuals, families, carers and healthcare professionals across Australia. Through awareness campaigns, community engagement, professional partnerships and evidence-based resources, EAA plays a critical role in supporting people affected by eczema and increasing understanding of this common and often debilitating condition.

As the organisation continues to grow, EAA is seeking an experienced and capable Executive Officer to lead day-to-day operations, strengthen organisational performance, build strategic partnerships and help expand its reach and impact throughout Australia.

The Opportunity
