About the Role

The role is best suited to a highly motivated and collaborative individual who is interested in a dynamic regional and multi-country program, with national projects geared towards strengthening justice systems with a particular focus on access to justice for victims of trafficking in persons.

About the program
ASEAN–Australia Counter Trafficking (ASEAN-ACT) continues Australia’s long-running collaboration with ASEAN and its Member States to end human trafficking in the region. The program is a 10-year investment (2018 to 2028) principally working to strengthen the justice sector response to trafficking in persons, while advancing the rights of victims. The program has established partnerships with government agencies, civil society, and business. We engage with all 10 ASEAN Member States in some capacity and have national-level programming in Cambodia, Lao PDR, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. We are establishing programming in Indonesia, and it is currently on hold in Myanmar.
ASEAN-ACT supports ASEAN Member States to integrate gender equality, disability and social inclusion (GEDSI) and protect the rights of victims of trafficking. The program has developed GEDSI and victim rights strategies to provide a conceptual framework and practical implementation approach to analyse and respond to GEDSI and victim rights challenges in countering trafficking. As a core component of the program, specific projects and activities to advance GEDSI and victim rights have been designed and are being implemented in collaboration with ASEAN-ACT's partners and stakeholders.
