Imagine coming to work every day knowing you’re making a real difference in the lives of people with lung disease and lung cancer in Australia. We’re looking for passionate and motivated people who share our values to join our growing team.
Who we are
At Lung Foundation Australia, we’re proud to be Australia’s most trusted organisation for information and support about lung health, lung disease, and lung cancer.
For over 35 years, we’ve supported people with lung disease and lung cancer and learned from their lived experience. Their understanding and insights are the backbone of all that do, from support to advocacy, research and education.
We recently delivered our strategic 5-year plan for 2025 and saw incredible growth in our brand, influence, funding, and reach. Now, we’re focused on our next 5-year plan, with a bold new strategy to transform the lung health of all Australians.
We’re also proud to be recognised as a great place to work! We’ve been named NGO of the Year twice (2020, 2023) at the PRIME Awards, and we’ve won a Best Workplace Award at the XRef Engage Awards for the past 3 years in a row.
It’s a fantastic time to join our team and help us make a real difference in the lives of people living with lung disease and lung cancer. Please contact our People and Culture team to learn more. You can email us at careers@lungfoundation.com.au.
