Detail information about job Coordinator, People and Culture. Terms and conditions vacancy

We are committed to playing our part in supporting people with disabilities to achieve this goal.
Participate Australia makes a difference in the lives of people with disabilities by respecting their dignity, autonomy, freedom of choice and independence, and by supporting the achievement of their aspirations.
We strive for a community that respects human dignity and freedom and the personal identities of all people, is non-discriminatory and affirms equality while valuing difference, and sustains full and effective participation and inclusion by ensuring equal opportunity and accessibility.
