Important notice for international applicants
Oxfam Australia's recruitment policies do not prohibit nor exclude international candidates from applying for jobs based in Australia. However, Australian Department of Immigration regulations do not always permit us to sponsor entry into Australia to take up positions advertised. This means that entry visa requirements may remain your own responsibility - we suggest you contact the Department of Immigration to investigate your options in this regard.
