Administration Officer

  • Do you want to make a difference in the lives of people with asthma and related respiratory conditions?
  • Are you looking to work with a small, close-knit team in a leading Not for Profit organisation?
  • 8FTE, flexible conditions, salary packaging and additional leave at Christmas. 

We all take breathing for granted – until you can’t.  Or you witness someone close to you struggling to breathe.

One in nine Australians have asthma and one in four children will develop the condition in their childhood. It’s likely someone close to you has asthma, but you just don’t talk about it.

If not identified and well managed, asthma can severely affect a person’s quality of life, impacting them physically, socially and emotionally. Symptoms can go from mild to life threatening in a matter of minutes, and worse still, asthma can and does, take the lives of people we love.

Asthma WA is a Western Australian charity that has been providing free tailored education and support programs to the community for more than 55 years. We work with individuals and the community to better understand and manage asthma – helping people to live their best lives with confidence.

Asthma WA is seeking a confident, positive and enthusiastic team member to assist our team in our mission to help people in Western Australia breathe better.
