About us
No to Violence is Australia’s peak body for individuals and organisations that work with men that use violence. We provide training, sector development and advocacy across the sector. We operate the Men’s Referral Service, providing a counselling service and referral pathways directly to men who use violence. As a pro-feminist organisation, women and children are at the centre of what we do - by ending men’s use of family violence, families, individuals, and communities are safer.

About the role
As Policy and Advocacy Advisor, you'll work in a dynamic, nationally focused team to develop and deliver policy and advocacy initiatives that influence Australia's response to men's use of family violence. You'll have a specific jurisdictional focus while also contributing to broader NTV policy and advocacy priorities.

You'll analyse emerging political and social issues, bring together research, practitioner knowledge, lived experience and government perspectives, and turn that evidence into policy positions, submissions, briefings and advocacy materials. You'll also work closely with the research and communications functions to strengthen NTV's influence and represent the organisation in sector meetings, working groups and forums.

A key part of the role is building strong relationships with members, government, research institutions and sector partners, creating opportunities for their expertise and perspectives to inform policy and advocacy priorities.


About you
You're a policy professional who understands how to turn complex evidence and ideas into clear, compelling policy and advocacy. You can read the political environment, build strong relationships and work confidently with people across government, research, the community sector and the specialist family violence sector.

To be successful, you'll have:
  • Experience working in a policy or advocacy role.
  • Strong understanding of Australian policy and political processes.
  • Excellent analytical skills and ability to synthesise diverse evidence.
  • Strong writing skills across policy and advocacy materials.
  • Experience building and maintaining influential stakeholder relationships.
  • An understanding of the gendered nature of family violence and a commitment to strengthening the specialist men's family violence sector.
