About Equity Hub
DFAT’s Equity Hub uses evidence, research and good practice to ensure Australia is a thought leader and partner of choice for progressing gender equality, disability equity and social inclusion (GEDSI) in the Indo-Pacific and globally.
It provides joined-up GEDSI advice to DFAT staff to strengthen equity outcomes across programs, policy and advocacy, and builds good practice through research, analysis, an online Knowledge Hub and targeted events.
Equity Hub is managed by Alinea International, in partnership with the Nossal Institute for Global Health and Social Development Direct (SDDirect). This consortium brings together complementary expertise across gender equality, disability equity, social development and international policy, alongside strong regional networks and delivery experience globally, with a particular focus in the Indo‑Pacific.
The Role
Rapid Task Group
To ensure that Equity Hub is able to respond to rapid turnaround queries, we will also maintain a Rapid Task Group. This will be comprised of up to 30 panellists who confirm that they are regularly available to take on rapid tasks with short deadlines, including those associated with key DFAT compliance tasks. The Rapid Task Group will be selected from the wider panel, reflecting a range of experience, geographical areas of focus and technical expertise
Required Qualifications
Areas of Expertise
Applicants are expected to bring expertise (which may include lived experience) in one or more GEDSI domains – gender equality, disability equity, social inclusion including LGBTQIA+ inclusion or First Nations people (Including Australia) engagement – and to demonstrate how this expertise is applied in practice.
In addition, Equity Hub seeks GEDSI expert advisers with experience in relevant sectoral or thematic areas, including but not limited to governance, health, social protection, climate change, economic development, education, WASH, trade, security, infrastructure and humanitarian contexts.
Applicants will be asked to indicate both their GEDSI specialisation and their thematic areas of experience.
