Role Title: Save Scott Reef Intern
Organisation: Conservation Council WA
Internship Period: Semester 1 (February - May)
Location: West Perth
Scott Reef is a fragile, living treasure that is home to endangered green turtles, elusive pygmy blue whales and rare sharks. This coral sanctuary is under threat from Woodside’s plan to drill for gas.
The Conservation Council of WA (CCWA) aims to educate the public on the threats to Scott Reef and to build a powerful movement of West Australians who regularly and visibly show state and federal decision-makers the depth of community support to protect Scott Reef.
The intern will work with CCWA's Fossil Fuels program, and assist with increasing visibility of the Save Scott Reef campaign by engaging with local businesses and community groups and distributing informational materials. This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in community engagement and movement building, and develop organisational, communication, and interpersonal skills.
The Conservation Council of WA is the state’s foremost non-profit, non-government conservation organisation. Through advocacy, community engagement, policy development, science, and on-the-ground projects, we help create a sustainable future that all Western Australians can look forward to.
