Volunteer to change lives. Yours included. This volunteer opportunity will help to support the Procurement Team implement a contractor compliance system which will help to protect our most vulnerable people; whilst learning about procurement and other valuable skills.

The purpose of this role is to support the implementation and continual growth and improvement of the contractor compliance management system.  Why?  We care about protecting our most vulnerable people (our clients), by making sure our suppliers (who are our sub-contractors) have adequate police check clearances, appropriate certifications and licences, and meet legislative requirements to supply to aged care and hospitals.
