The Capability and Practice team are part of the Policy and Practice Branch who have responsibility for:

  • Providing advice regarding commissioning and contracting strategies, procuring for human services and developing and managing contracts for external stakeholders

You will be a motivated individual with a proven ability to work autonomously to deliver solutions as well as working effectively in a team.

You will have excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to communicate clearly and succinctly.

You are looking for an opportunity to expand your skill set in contract administration or project management.

At times, this will require working to tight deadlines and prioritising effectively to manage competing demands to achieve positive outcomes.
