Communications Executive

We offer a dynamic, inclusive workplace that values innovation, respects diversity, and supports individual performance. United by purpose, we are committed to making a meaningful difference for WA families with ill or injured children.

When a child in Western Australia needs specialist medical care, families often must travel to Perth. We believe when families are together, they cope better. We believe no family should have to deal with their child's medical journey alone.

For over 30 years, we have provided essential services to thousands of West Australian families. As an independent not‑for‑profit organisation, part of a global network of 360+ Houses, we help families with ill or injured children access the medical care and resources they need to focus on what truly matters; each other.
