About the event

Sustainable House Day is a not for profit event and has provided a great opportunity for hundreds of thousands of people to visit some of Australia’s leading green homes – ones that are not only environmentally friendly, but cheaper to run and more comfortable to live in. This rare opportunity to talk to homeowners and get advice, do’s and don’ts as they see it with no sales pitch.

Who will you be working with

You will be working in a team who has been running this event in WA for the past few years, and want to see it get bigger and better every year. They are committed to sustainability and education around building more environmentally friendly homes. You will also be liaising with the National organisers, ATA (Alternative Technology Association) and Enviro Events.
