Who We Are
Social Ventures Australia (SVA) is an innovative social impact organisation operating across Australia.

We use our broad outlook, transformational thinking, and trusted voice to lead the charge against inequality in Australia.

We were created over 20 years ago to find innovative solutions to entrenched social problems and speed up the rate of positive change.


We think differently, help redesign systems by learning about what works in communities, and work hand-in-hand with passionate partners to take real action and achieve positive social change.


Our Consulting Team**Our Consulting team works exclusively on for-purpose projects that strengthen the social sector and have a positive impact on people and communities. SVA pioneered social sector consulting in Australia and in the past 15 years, the team has worked with hundreds of clients to deliver high impact projects.

Our projects generally fall into one of five service offerings:

  • Strategy and Governance
  • helping organisations to determine their purpose and how they can best achieve it.
  • Outcomes Management supporting organisations to understand the changes they want to create and how to measure if they are achieving it.
  • Collaboration and Partnerships supporting clients to identify partnership and collaboration opportunities to increase their impact.
  • Organisational Effectiveness helping clients to operate more effectively to ensure they are set up to achieve their goals.
  • Program Design helping clients to develop effective programs that achieved the desired outcomes for participants.
Our clients include non-profits, ACCOs, land councils, governments, social enterprises, philanthropic organisations and corporates pursuing social change. Learn more about us and our work on our website.


The Opportunities
We have multiple roles available at the Consultant and Manager level in SVA's Sydney Consulting team.


Consultants are typically responsible for leading or contributing to problem-solving, managing resourcing requirements within the scope of their role as they relate to a broader project, facilitating workshops, building client relationships and providing support to more junior staff, with guidance and support from more senior team members as required.


Both roles work across multiple projects, usually two or more at a time, with a typical project lasting between three and six months.

Working in SVA's Consulting team provides exposure to challenging and rewarding opportunities.

You will build close relationships with inspiring clients and communities, sector leaders, colleagues, and stakeholders, which provides a great foundation for professional growth and development.

You will also collaborate with a growing and highly committed team with wide-ranging experience across the social sector.

You can learn more about the roles by looking through the Position Descriptions on our website.
