Event Coordinator - Diabetes Australia

You know how to make an event feel right.

You’ve seen what it takes to make an event run smoothly and you know it’s never a solo act. It’s about teamwork, trust, and timing. That’s where you shine.

At Diabetes Australia, we’re looking for an Event Coordinator to help us deliver events that connect, inform, and inspire. From community activations to national campaigns, you’ll be part of a collaborative team that’s passionate about improving the lives of the 1.5 million Australians living with diabetes.

This is a full-time permanent role based in Brisbane, with some travel across Queensland and interstate. You’ll work closely with colleagues across the organisation, suppliers, venues, and stakeholders to make sure every detail is covered and most importantly, that every event feels meaningful.

A knack for logistics, planning, and keeping things on track

Confidence dealing with suppliers, venues, and internal teams

A calm, solutions-focused approach when things get busy

A genuine interest in creating inclusive, accessible experiences

🤝 Teamwork is everything here

You won’t be left to figure things out alone. You’ll be supported by a team that values compassion, authenticity, and collaboration. We share ideas, solve problems together, and celebrate the wins, big and small.

Whether you're coordinating logistics, liaising with suppliers, or helping develop promotional materials, you’ll be working alongside people who care deeply about the work and each other.

What you’ll be responsible for

Planning and coordinating national events, activations, and digital engagements

Managing logistics, timelines, budgets, and compliance

Why this role matters

You’ll be trusted to take ownership, contribute ideas, and make a real impact. And you’ll know exactly how your role fits into the bigger picture.

🎁 What’s in it for you?
