Canberra, ACT, Australia Australian Electoral Commission Full time

Agency Purpose


The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is an independent statutory authority established by the Australian Government to maintain an impartial and independent electoral system for eligible voters through active electoral roll management, efficient delivery of polling services, and targeted education and public awareness programs.


The AEC's values and commitments
The AEC values and commitments are an essential component of our operating environment and frame how AEC staff work. The AEC's focus is on electoral integrity through the values of quality, agility and professionalism.

The Team


The Community and International Engagement (CIE) section provides a broad range of services to support the AEC's community and international partnerships and programs.


CIE works in partnership with electoral management bodies (EMBs) in the Indo-Pacific region, supporting them to deliver elections and building their technical capacity.

The AEC is committed to assisting EMBs in our region as part of our broader remit to defend democracy.

Section 7(1)(fa) of the Commonwealth Electoral Act 1918 directs the AEC to provide international assistance in matters relating to elections and referendums.


The AEC's electoral assistance programs are built on requests for assistance from partner EMBs and are funded by the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) through Australia's international development program.


The section is also responsible for setting the strategic direction and the delivery of community engagement, awareness and outreach programs to a diverse range of national audiences.
