Role Title: Aboriginal Ear Health Program - Marketing Intern
Organisation: Cockburn Integrated Health (Healthy Lifestyle)
Internship Period: Summer (November - December)
Location: Cockburn
We are a non-profit providing free ear health services for Aboriginal children in Perth. Aboriginal children are 10 times more likely than non-Aboriginal children to experience chronic ear disease and hearing loss unless they access timely health care. The public health system is often delayed by 3-4 years, whereas we address new referrals within 4 weeks. Families tell us this service is life changing, allowing their children to regain hearing, develop language, participate more in life and be more engaged in school. We rely on grant funding to run this service at no cost to families. In order to demonstrate the good work of our clinic, to show our funders where their money goes, and also to garner more funding for future, we are seeking a marketing and comms intern to compile a package that describes and shows our service through the lens of the families who access our clinic. This will involve taking photos of our service, collecting family stories and feedback, compiling video promotion material, and pulling this together into a high quality, publishable presentation that we can use for a variety of audiences to communicate the benefits and value of our service.
