About Us

The Bryan Foundation is a philanthropic organisation committed to empowering young Queenslanders through meaningful education. We operate as a grant-maker, service provider, and strategic partner driving system-level change.

Our charity arm, The Bryan Education Foundation, delivers place-based initiatives such as FamilyLinQ to support children, families, and communities. We work across education, early childhood, and community development—collaborating with government, schools, and the not-for-profit sector.

We're a small, values-driven team based in Brisbane, offering a flexible and supportive working environment focused on impact.

Draft compelling, evidence-based reports, briefs, and submissions

Coordinate stakeholders, co-design sessions, and strategic projects

What You Bring

Tertiary qualification in public policy, social sciences, education, or similar

3–5+ years’ experience in policy support, research, or project roles

Excellent writing, critical thinking, and organisational skills

A self-starter mindset and the ability to navigate complexity with ease

$111,000 – $115,000 FTE + 11% super

Salary packaging up to $15,900 (plus $2,650 meals/entertainment)
