About the Partner Organisation 

Callan Services for Persons with Disabilities National Unit (CSNU) is a faith-based, not-for-profit organisation operating throughout Papua New Guinea. With a national network of Education Resource Centres and partner schools, we work across urban, rural, and remote communities to ensure that people with disabilities - especially children - can access essential services, support, and opportunities for inclusion.

Our aim is to promote the rights, dignity, and full participation of persons with disabilities by providing specialised education, early childhood intervention, therapy services, and community-based rehabilitation. We work closely with families, teachers, health workers, government departments, and local organisations to build capacity and strengthen inclusive practices within communities.

A volunteer Audiologist will support this assignment by delivering comprehensive audiological assessments and interventions, while also mentoring local staff and contributing to clinic management, systems, and outreach planning. This role cannot be readily filled locally due to the limited availability of experienced audiologists in PNG, particularly those with both clinical expertise and experience in developing sustainable, community-focused service models.
