ABOUT TODAY
We are Australia’s most awarded social impact agency.
We use design and technology to make change happen, at pace and at scale. In the last 12 months, we’ve designed and built Australia’s first online family violence intervention order, established a new approach to co-design for the Victorian mental health sector, built a peer-to-peer product that helps people learn Auslan, and launched a campaign to shift mainstream perceptions of climate change—plus many more.
Our practice is built on strong foundations of human-centred design and digital making. There are 50 of us (soon to be 60), based mostly in Naarm (Melbourne), working across strategy, research, design, content, delivery and a wonderful support team.
You’ll experience a welcoming environment filled with smart, fun and caring people from a wide variety of backgrounds and disciplines, who are passionate about creativity, making change, and learning from each other.
Your expertise will be appreciated while you get busy making change in sectors like:
- arts, culture and public spaces
- children, youth and families
- cities, transport and housing
- climate, nature and energy
- education
- financial wellbeing
- First Nations
- health, wellbeing and care
- justice
- public service
- rural and regional communities, and
- sustainable economy
