Fundraising Co-ordinator - Brisbane, Australia - Operation Smile Australia

Description

About the role

Based at the Mater Hospital South Brisbane, Operation Smile is a children's medical charity that has provided hundreds of thousands of free surgeries for children and young adults in developing countries who are born with cleft lip, cleft palate or other facial deformities.

To build long-term self-sufficiency in resource poor environments, Operation Smile trains doctors and local medical professionals in its partner countries so they are empowered to treat their local communities.

Operation Smile also donates medical equipment, supplies and provides year-round medical treatment through its worldwide centres.

Every three minutes a child is born with a cleft. Only 7% of children living with unrepaired cleft conditions in low and middle income countries survive to adulthood.
