Filipino Project Officer – Hepatitis B Community Testing

Hepatitis NSW | Part-time, 3 days per week / 21 hours | Surry Hills with community outreach across Sydney

Applications close: 5:00pm, 29 July 2026

$57,804 per annum (including superannuation and annual leave loading)

About the role

Are you a community-minded person who wants to help improve liver health for Filipino communities in NSW? Hepatitis NSW is looking for a warm, organised and motivated Filipino Project Officer to support an innovative hepatitis B community testing project.

Hepatitis B remains a significant public health issue in Australia, and Filipino communities are among those disproportionately affected. This role will help take healthcare to people in trusted community settings, increase awareness of hepatitis B and liver health, and support people to access testing and care.

You will help plan, organise and deliver a comprehensive liver screening and hepatitis testing program for Filipino communities across Sydney. The project includes rapid, point-of-care hepatitis B and C testing, with immediate results and referral into care where needed.

You will be part of Hepatitis NSW’s hepatitis B team, working alongside project officers focused on Chinese, Vietnamese and Korean communities. The team works collaboratively with community members, researchers, local health districts, multicultural health services, volunteers, lived experience staff and other partners.

This is a practical, people-focused role. You will spend time building relationships, coordinating outreach events, supporting community education and helping deliver testing days. The role includes some work away from the office, usually during business hours, and light physical tasks such as transporting resources to and from events.

The role involves conducting finger-prick blood testing for hepatitis B and C in community settings. You do not need a clinical background, previous testing experience or strong existing knowledge of hepatitis and liver health. We will provide extensive training and support so you can feel confident and safe delivering the project. Applicants do need to be comfortable working with blood and in both healthcare and non-healthcare community settings.

Key responsibilities

• Build strong, respectful connections with Filipino communities across Sydney.
• Lead Hepatitis NSW’s engagement with Filipino communities, including outreach events, education and community engagement.
• Plan and organise health promotion and testing events in community settings.
• Collaborate with partner organisations to deliver an innovative community-based testing model.
• Conduct finger-prick blood testing at outreach events, with training and support provided.
• Collect data as part of health promotion activities and research studies.
• Coordinate Filipino casual staff and volunteers, including lived experience staff, to support outreach events.
• Assist with the development of hepatitis B resources for Filipino communities.
• Contribute to the broader hepatitis B response in NSW through projects, presentations, partnerships and advisory groups.

Most work will be across the Sydney metropolitan area, with a statewide reach. A current NSW Driver Licence is required. There may be occasional evening or weekend work, negotiated in advance, and occasional interstate travel for conferences or relevant meetings.

About you

We are looking for someone who is approachable, organised and committed to community health. You may have experience in community development, health promotion, multicultural engagement, project coordination, volunteer coordination or a related field. Just as importantly, you will bring curiosity, reliability, cultural humility and a willingness to learn.

Fluency in English is required. Fluency in Tagalog or Filipino is not required, although connection to Filipino communities and an understanding of community strengths, networks and experiences will be highly valued.

People with lived experience of hepatitis B, or with a family history of hepatitis B, are strongly encouraged to apply. Hepatitis NSW deeply values lived experience and personal connection to the communities we work with and for.

Why join Hepatitis NSW?

Hepatitis NSW is a respected health promotion charity working towards a world free of viral hepatitis. You will join a supportive, inclusive and community-focused organisation that values collaboration, cultural safety, lived experience and practical action.

This is an opportunity to use your community knowledge, project skills and relationship-building strengths to make healthcare more accessible, reduce barriers to testing and care, and contribute to meaningful change for Filipino communities affected by hepatitis B.
