The principal position in the ECCV is policy officer which suits those with high academic qualifications but from time to time we also have places for project officers working to deliver specific outcomes for which we’ve been funded.

The ECCV offers a great work environment for staff. Lots of very interesting work with the chance of working closely with a wide range of talented, knowledgeable people working in the public, private and community sectors.

Current Vacancies

Policy Officer (Aged Care)

We welcome applications from policy professionals who want to have an impact at the higher levels of government. As a result of growth in the organisation and resultant promotions, a vacancy has arisen in our aged care team. This community based position has overall responsibility for ECCV’s culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) aged care policy development program which is funded by the Victorian Department of Health (the Department). Key areas of work are public policy research, analysis and development, submission writing, publications production and project coordination relating to ethnic aged care. Click here for a PD

Students We regularly offer places for student placements, typically to undertake an internership based on policy development and the production of a research report. In recent years we've hosted international students too. If you are interested in a student placement or wish to talk about placement opportunities, please contact the office.

Volunteers

ECCV Executive members are all volunteers and like most community based organizations we would not be able to function without the great work that volunteers do and the time they devote to the organisation’s governance.

Members of the Executive are elected but there are still areas of involvement where general volunteers can make their mark such as being part of one of our policy sub-committees. At the moment these sub-committees include our Women’s, Youth, New & Emerging communities, Health and Aged Care committees. There may also be opportunities for more general volunteer assistance on projects or in the office particularly from those with a particular skill. Those skills in short supply include accounting, media, events management, communications, IT and graphic design.

We also take on board office based volunteers from time to time to help with administration, communications, organising events or project work so if you have some skills in these areas and at least adequate written English language skills give us a call, we'd love to talk to you.
