Position: Disability Inclusion Advisor

Timing: August to September 2025

Inputs: Up to 15 days 

Rate: C4 ARF (up to AUD957 per day)

Description

Background

Disaster READY is a component of the Australian Humanitarian Partnership (AHP) funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). Through the Disaster READY program, Australian-based non-governmental organisation (ANGO) partners assist local communities and organisations in the Pacific and Timor-Leste to prepare for and respond to natural disasters. AHP partners deliver locally-led programs through their networks in Fiji, Vanuatu, Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste. 

Overall, $100 million is being invested (2017-2027) to support communities, local civil society actors and governments to manage disasters more effectively. This includes ensuring that women, youth, children, people with disabilities, and other at-risk groups are better prepared for and more resilient to disasters and climate change. DFAT has partnered with six Australian NGOs and their consortiums to deliver on these priorities: CARE Australia, Caritas Australia, Oxfam Australia, Plan International Australia, Save the Children Australia, and World Vision Australia.

In 2025, NGO partners will be completing the third year of implementation of their Phase 2 Disaster READY Project Plans. The AHPSU will engage a Disability Inclusion Advisor to provide specialist support to NGOs as they develop their Year 3 Annual Reports and Year 4 workplans. The specialist will also provide reviews and feedback to the NGOs when these reports and workplans are submitted as part of the approval process for the next  tranche funding release.
