Work With Us

Women’s and Girls’ Emergency Centre (WAGEC) is a feminist, not-for-profit organisation that supports women and families, and advocates for social change in the community.

Our Vision is to build a community free from gender-based violence by harnessing collective power and shaping a safer future for generations to come.

Key to our work is our people.

At WAGEC, we believe that a resilient, ethical, and inclusive organisation is essential to creating safe futures. We are committed to building a workplace where feminist leadership thrives, staff are supported to grow, and our operations reflect care, integrity, and purpose.

We prioritise Aboriginal women and children, recognising their leadership, sovereignty, and right to safety and justice.

We embed collaboration in how we work, by co-creating policies with staff, listening deeply to lived experience, supporting flexible work environments, and fostering a culture of safety, transparency, and mutual respect.

Our additional staff benefits include:

• Diversity Council of Australia – Inclusive Employer Award

• Colonial Load recognition package for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander team members

• Wellbeing policies and allowances, including 2 days of paid well-being leave each year and up to $500 annually for self-care

• 12 weeks Paid Parental/Adoption Leave

• Salary Packaging options

• Free access to Sonder - a revolutionary employee care platform for health, medical, safety and wellbeing support

• External monthly clinical supervision (frontline workers)

We are caring. We are hopeful. We are empowering.
