How do I join the humanitarian roster?
Learn more about our recruitment process on the join as a skilled professional page.
When will applications for the roster be open?
Dates will be advertised on the Application Process page, as well as on Facebook. You can also subscribe to our newsletter.
I have less than five years experience / less than 1 year in the development sector, can I still apply to the roster?
Yes. Each application is reviewed and assessed based on current and future needs for the Humanitarian Roster and our partners.
We do however recommend at least five years of experience in your area of expertise and one year in a development/humanitarian context because we want you to succeed and have real opportunities to deploy if/when you join the Humanitarian Roster.
I’ve done other training courses similar to the RedR mandatory courses, can I join the roster without doing the courses?
Only courses provided by other RedR entities (eg. RedR UK) Re are currently accepted as equivalents.
I live overseas and can't come to Melbourne, can I still join the roster?
Yes. RedR delivers training courses around the globe and may come to an area near you.
Refer to our current training courses for more information. We can also use video-conferencing systems to organise remote interviews.
