Cairns, Queensland, Australia Department of Primary Industries (Queensland) Full time

Biosecurity Queensland plays a vital role in securing the state's agricultural prosperity and preserving and protecting the health of our environment and economy. We are dedicated to safeguarding both human and animal health by preventing and mitigating plant and animal pests and diseases. We work tirelessly to uphold a high level of animal welfare standards and maintain access to interstate markets, critical for Queensland's thriving primary industries. Biosecurity Queensland monitors and regulates the application of agricultural and veterinary chemicals, ensuring they are used safely and in compliance with legislation. With a commitment to developing capabilities and preparedness, we are at the forefront of protecting Queensland against biosecurity risks. Invasive Plants and Animals (IPA) significantly affect the environment, agricultural production, infrastructure, human health and our way of life in general. The IPA program directs, facilitates and delivers strategic and targeted action to reduce the impact of invasive species in Queensland.

As our Senior Project Officer, you will provide policy skills and support to help manage the impacts of invasive plants and animals in Queensland. With Queensland being affected by more biosecurity incursions than any other Australian state or territory, your efforts will be integral in helping the government prevent, respond to and recover from biosecurity concerns that threaten our environment and economy.

You will know you're achieving success in the role when you:

  • Identify and research policy issues within the area of invasive plants and animals; and contribute to the development of policy documents.
  • Can manage your own work priorities, ensuring assigned tasks are undertaken promptly and meet the project deliverables.
  • Are actively contributing as a member of a high-performing team.
