Organisation: Australian Council on Smoking and Health (ACOSH)
Internship Period: Winter (June - July)
Location: Subiaco
Do you want to be involved in driving world leading change for one of the leading causes of preventable death in Australia? Completing an internship at a peak public health body responsible for advocating all around Australia is a dynamic and diverse experience providing valuable skills for a future career in public health. This work is responsive to community and government which means it's never the same from one week to the next. This role could involve developing community engagement resources, conducting intercept interviews to explore public perceptions, desktop research, tracking progress through media reports, crafting website content, contributing to content that impacts government decisions and expanding your network of public health professionals and mentors. You never know where public health advocacy can take you - but we guarantee your work will make a real difference!
The Australian Council of Smoking and Health (ACOSH) is Australia’s leading tobacco control advocacy organisation. Our goal is to create a tobacco and vape free Australia. We do that by engaging with community and government leaders to achieve meaningful change via introducing or amending regulations and policies which will reduce smoking and vaping. An internship with ACOSH would suit someone who can work both independently and as part of a team; who has a positive/can-do energy; who can be flexible and responsive to workplan pivots; and who has an interest in public health.
ACOSH's mission is to advocate for a tobacco and vape-free future.
