A place to make a difference

We're proudly part of Save the Children Australia – by joining 54 reasons, you’re joining the world’s oldest and largest independent network of child rights changemakers.

Together, we’re fearless for children.

54 reasons is a place where courage, curiosity and care take centre stage. Where people express their passion for supporting kids through policy, practice and playtime (which, let's face it, is the best time.) It's the kind of place where people help by listening and learning, not by telling. And it’s a place to grow, where you’re given the trust and the tools to make a real difference for children.

As part of Save the Children Australia, 54 reasons brings together the best of local know-how and global experience. From Doomadgee to Damascus, our teams are on the same mission to make rights real for kids.

A place to belong

It takes all types of people to do the challenging work we do. We are teams of diverse personalities, backgrounds and talents, embracing our differences as one strong and united team.

Being part of a leading organisation and global network means learning from inspiring people - each with their own unique value to offer

A place to make a difference

Whether out in the community or working behind the scenes, our people are connected to our cause. You are empowered to make a difference in children's lives.

Learning, sharing and collaborating - we're always looking for new ways to solve problems. Every day, we see how the small wins become big.

What I like most about working for 54 reasons is seeing the young people achieve their goals and seeing them have their small wins and overcoming barriers that they didn't believe they could overcome
