Make a difference from the inside.
The Bren Foundation Australia is growing its team in Canberra and Melbourne. We are looking for exceptional people who share our commitment to ending homelessness.
Why work with us?
We are a lean, purpose-driven foundation with no bureaucracy and no noise — just meaningful work. Every role at the Bren Foundation contributes directly to our mission of ending homelessness across Australia.
We offer competitive remuneration, flexible working arrangements, and the rare opportunity to be part of a high-impact private foundation at a pivotal moment in its growth.
Our Melbourne office is the Foundation's headquarters, located in the CBD. Roles here span philanthropy, legal, finance, and operations.
Our Canberra office opens March 2027. We are now accepting applications for roles based at this new location.
