Organisational Background 

ASCCA was formed in 1998 as a peak body for a network of computer clubs for seniors. Many Australian seniors are excluded from full participation in society because of low digital literacy. Our vision is that every Australian senior will be a confident and competent user of technology. Our mission is to strengthen senior communities, set national standards, advocate nationally, and prioritise support through trusted partner channels. 

The Purpose & Impact of This Role 

Clear, engaging writing is one of the most powerful tools we have to reach and support older Australians. As our Content Writer, you will help ASCCA tell its story — sharing practical digital literacy tips, celebrating member and volunteer achievements, and promoting our programs to the wider community. Your words will build confidence in readers who may otherwise feel intimidated by technology, strengthen ASCCA's public profile, and help attract the members, partners and supporters who make our mission possible. 

Key Duties & Responsibilities 

• Write clear, engaging articles for the ASCCA website, blog and other publications 

• Contribute regular items to the monthly newsletter, working with the newsletter team on content and deadlines 

• Draft social media posts that reflect ASCCA's voice and reach a senior audience 

• Write media releases to promote ASCCA news, events and achievements 

• Create and update website copy, ensuring information is current, accurate and easy to understand 

• Edit and proofread your own and others' content for clarity, tone and accuracy before publication 

• Adapt writing style and complexity to suit a senior readership, favouring plain language over jargon 

• Collaborate with the Communications and Marketing Working Group and other volunteers to plan content and maintain a consistent organisational voice 

• Ensure all content aligns with ASCCA's brand, values and style guidelines
