We embrace flexible working practices including working from home and offices to enable flexible working approaches through spaces designed to accommodate a range of working styles.

This type of working supports increased communication and collaboration, and encourages agility and innovation.


We are looking for enthusiastic and motivated people to join our team and maximise an excellent opportunity to develop your understanding of how the department, and our services, support the Australian Government through these processes to achieve positive outcomes for the Australian people.

Experience in the following is desirable but not required:

  • using a document management system such as 'Digital First', CabNet+ and/or PDMS
- a working knowledge of ministerial and parliamentary systems and processes, or an appetite to develop these skills quickly
