  • Lead national advocacy and reform
  • National peak for social change
  • End men's family violence


About the organisation

No to Violence is Australia’s peak body for organisations and individuals working to end men’s use of family violence. The organisation supports specialist men’s family violence services and operates the national Men’s Referral Service, a 24/7 support line. With a new strategic plan in place, No to Violence is widening its focus beyond traditional peak body work to help lead a broader social movement. This means working with governments, communities, employers, and the family violence sector to drive real, lasting change and stop violence before it starts.


About the role

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, the General Manager, Advocacy and Sector Impact is a senior member of the Executive Team. The role brings together the organisation’s work across advocacy, public policy, research, and workforce and sector development, making sure these areas operate in a coordinated and purposeful way. You will turn the organisation’s insights and expertise into practical plans that support long term reform. This role also plays a key part in strengthening No to Violence’s national voice and helping shape a countrywide effort to end men’s family violence.


About you

You are an experienced leader from a public policy, government, social change, or community sector setting. You understand how to navigate complex systems and bring people together around a clear purpose. Most importantly, you are a thoughtful and grounded people leader. You listen well, set clear expectations, and create an environment where your team feels supported, trusted, and able to do their best work. You value open communication, steady guidance, and collaboration. You know how to bring different disciplines together and help a team stay focused on shared goals. You care about building capability, supporting wellbeing, and contributing positively to the wider Executive Team. You have a strong understanding of the gendered nature of family violence and a genuine commitment to helping drive meaningful social change.
