The Mental and Social Health Policy Section sits within the Health and Wellbeing Policy Branch in the Policy Division.

The Section is responsible for undertaking analysis of new and emerging policy issues, and designing strategic policy options to improve the mental health and wellbeing of veterans and their families.

The section has a high profile within the Department, works with a range of Government agencies and collaborates with DVA Executives, other DVA business areas, ex-service organisations, representatives of state and territory governments, international counterparts, and corporate and not-for-profit organisations.

Mental and Social Health Policy are seeking an EL1 Assistant Director to provide leadership in key areas of policy management including researching, developing and advising on New Policy Proposals and Budget submissions, implementing Government-directed initiatives, and analysis of key long term trends that will shape the future of veteran mental health.

As part of the Mental and Social Health Policy team, you will be instrumental in driving change across DVA.

Successful applicants will be passionate about improving services, experiences and outcomes for veterans, will bring strong oral and written communication skills, be curious and operate with agility and creativity, and be a team player with the ability to support productive working relationships to deliver mutually beneficial outcomes with both internal and external stakeholders.

To succeed in this role, you will draw on a sound understanding of policy development and how it applies to veteran issues, or be able to quickly acquire this understanding.

Experience of the veteran support system as it sits as part of broader government services would be an advantage, as would experience in costing new policy proposals.
