The Centre for Women's Safety and Wellbeing advertises vacant positions on our website, with promotion on our social media and via our e-newsletter.
If you are seeking a student placement, work experience, internship or volunteer opportunity it is important to be aware that CWSW is not a direct service provider for domestic, family and sexual violence and women’s health services. Our role as a peak body focuses on sector support and development, and systemic advocacy.
A student or volunteer opportunity with us depends on a variety of factors including your area of interest or study, and our capacity to support and facilitate an opportunity, which can vary throughout the year.
If you are interested and have a request for a student or volunteer opportunity, please email admin@cwsw.org.au and we will endeavor to get back to you as soon as possible.
