Help create a world without type 1 diabetes

There are almost 145,000 Australians living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and a further 8 diagnosed every day. The numbers are only growing, with T1D on the rise within Australia and around the world.

The shared mission of every Breakthrough T1D employee is to change this reality by moving towards a world without T1D.

We are looking for talented people to join our team and help us get there faster. Could this be you?

Breakthrough T1D team members make a positive impact for the community every single day. We strive to create a vibrant and rewarding work environment where you can develop and grow, while joining our fight against T1D.

We currently are not recruiting for vacant roles; please check back later. 

Working with us

Australian taxation laws provide generous tax concessions for not for profit organisations like Breakthrough T1D Australia. One such concession is an exemption for Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT).

This means that Breakthrough T1D Australia is able to pass on to their employees a proportion of their wages as a reimbursement of personal expenses and no income tax is payable on this money. In effect: a proportion of your salary each pay is tax free.

You may choose to package a range of items, such as General Household and Personal Expenses i.e. Home Rental Repayments, Mortgage Repayments, Utility Expenses, Other Household Expenses, Credit Card Repayments, Other Personal Expenses or a Salary Packaging Card to the allowable maximum of $15,900 each FBT year. Additionally, you may also choose to package towards General Capped Entertainment Expenses to the allowable maximum of $2650 each FBT year.

At Breakthrough T1D we offer additional paid leave over Christmas. Our offices close 25 December – 1 January and none of this time is taken from your annual leave entitlement. This leave is provided to all employees as a time to connect with family and friends.

At Breakthrough T1D our 5 values are:

  • PASSION
