RedR Australia roster members can apply for deployment opportunities worldwide, working alongside RedR Australia and our partners to prepare for and respond to crises and conflicts. Roster members can also access:
- early-bird training opportunities with RedR Australia and its partners
- deployment opportunities between 3–18 months, with the most common deployment duration being 6 months
- our professional network of roster members
- competitive remuneration packages whilst on deployment
- accompanied deployment allowances
- remote or in-country deployment options
- on-deployment support, including a dedicated team, medical support, psychosocial support, insurance coverage and leave benefits
- disability inclusion mentoring when on deployment
- reasonable accommodations and additional support.
At RedR Australia, we see your membership with us as a long-term relationship and recognise that there are times in our members' lives when they cannot deploy due to other commitments. We support and celebrate our members and have adapted the way we work to ensure we are flexible and supportive of our members throughout their careers.
Humanitarian and safety training (Essentials of Humanitarian Practice and Hostile Environment Awareness Training) is required to join our roster. Recognition of prior learning or experience will be considered for certain deployments, and can be discussed during an interview. We see this as duty of care, as well as reasonable preparation prior to departure.
How deployments work
1. Role request and review: Partner organisations request specialist support. We assess the role, security context, and funding.
2. Targeted recruitment: We identify and engage the best-fit candidates from our global roster.
3. Selection: Candidates are assessed by RedR Australia and nominated to the partner, who makes the final selection.
4. Preparation: We manage all pre-deployment arrangements, including logistics, briefings, and wellbeing support.
5. Deployment and support: Specialists deploy (in-country or remotely) with ongoing support from RedR Australia throughout the assignment.
6. Completion and re-engagement: Deployees are debriefed and supported post-assignment, and can return to the roster for future opportunities.
