We are an independent, non-profit organisation and our mission is to reach zero deaths from melanoma this decade.

Our Community & Engagement team is seeking an enthusiastic and passionate Community Fundraising Manager who is driven by the desire to help fuel ground-breaking research, clinical and education programs, and in doing so, make a real difference to the lives of others. Our Community Fundraisers are critical to fuelling MIA’s ongoing work, and this role represents an opportunity to play a proactive role in addressing one of Australia’s most critical health issues.

The position is the primary point of contact for all our passionate community fundraisers, with responsibility including providing assistance in utilising MIA’s Community Fundraising Portal to maximise the success of their events.
