Lead strategic internal communications that support culture, change and mission across the Archdiocese, with a strong focus on Centacare.
About Us
At the Catholic Archdiocese of Brisbane, our purpose is grounded in service to the common good. Through our parishes, agencies and ministries, we positively impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of Queenslanders each week. We put our faith into action in practical and meaningful ways and value a workforce that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve.
The Archdiocese spans from the New South Wales border to Hervey Bay and Childers, and west to Kingaroy. Within this footprint, good works are delivered through 93 parishes, 146 schools, Centacare and Catholic Early EdCare.
Centacare is a key regional provider of aged care, family and domestic violence support, and outreach to some of the most vulnerable people in our community. Catholic Early EdCare operates more than 190 early learning and care services across Queensland, supporting children and families at every stage of life.
Archdiocesan Services underpins this mission by providing specialist expertise across finance, technology, property, people and culture, communication and engagement, and government relations, ensuring our ministries are sustainable, well governed and mission focused.
