You’ll create content, manage communities, optimise digital platforms, and use insights to help more Australians connect with our message, resources, and campaigns.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can balance creativity with care, speed with judgement, and audience growth with psychological safety.

About R U OK?

R U OK? is a charity dedicated to creating a world where we are all connected and protected from suicide. We are a national suicide prevention charity and registered public health promotion that encourages people to stay connected and have conversations that can help others through difficult times. Since 2009, Australians have embraced the simplicity of the R U OK? message, making it their own.

life.

R U OK? contributes to suicide prevention efforts by encouraging people to invest more time in their personal relationships and building the capacity of informal support networks – friends, family, and colleagues - to be alert to those around them, have a conversation if they identify signs of distress or difficulty, and connect someone to appropriate support, long before they're in crisis.
