About Healthy Workplaces Ltd. & Tour de Office
Healthy Workplaces Ltd. is a registered charity providing workplace wellness products to organisations throughout Australia.
It is the driving force behind Tour de Office, Australia’s largest corporate cycling event.
Tour de Office was established in 2011 as a philanthropic event to not only raise money for charity, but to encourage desk-bound workers to get out of their chairs and onto a bike, all in the name of promoting a healthy workplace.
From humble beginnings, Tour de Office has grown from an in-house charity event to a corporate social responsibility platform that has been adopted by some of Australia’s largest organisations including Deloitte, McDonalds, Ernst & Young, Commonwealth Bank and Origin Energy.
Our board is made up of high calibre, successful professionals who are approachable, dedicated, and striving to reach big goals in the coming years.
We are entering a very exciting time in the growth of Healthy Workplaces Ltd. as we seek to develop new initiatives to advance the health of the Australian workforce and continue to grow the popular Tour de Office event.

This position may be well suited to a variety of backgrounds, such as executive assistance, events, marketing/communications, or a role within the NFP space - the most important thing is your ability to demonstrate strong organisational skills, event execution experience, and high level stakeholder engagement capability.
As the face of the charity, it's key you be well presented and possess exceptional communication skills. You will be a confident decision maker who knows how to move things forward, have strong initiative, and be able to effectively carry out your work in an independent manner.
Qualifications in business, event management, communications, fundraising, or similar will be highly regarded, however are not essential for your success in this role.
The Benefits
This is a very exciting chance to build a long-term career with an agile NFP, working your way into a senior leadership role such as General Manager (we have big plans to make this event international and will need a GM to do so!).
In return for your hard work and dedication, you will be offered an attractive remuneration of $77,000 plus salary sacrificing options.
Well supported by the inspirational and passionate Founding Board Member, you will be encouraged to execute your role in the way you see fit - you won't be micromanaged! You'll also have additional mentorship from an array of successful Board members.

Not to mention, you'll have the chance to collaborate with some of the best and brightest professionals within Australian workplaces, significantly growing your network!
Most importantly, this position allows you to carry out meaningful work day in and day out. You'll make a direct positive difference to many Australian charities, while also helping to shift the way Australians work to a healthier style.
Attend our Information Event
We're keen to meet you face to face and have a coffee or a glass of wine with you in a relaxed, but professional, setting.
This position is based in the Scout Talent Group head office in Milton (the Group Managing Director is the Founder of Healthy Workplaces Ltd. and Tour de Office), so you'll get to meet all the wonderful people you'll be working beside day to day.
You can expect to connect with some of our leadership team, hear our thoughts on the future of work and the future of our charity, and learn more about this career opportunity.
