- Liaise and collaborate with scientists, policy advisers and researchers from ABARES, the department and from other Commonwealth, state and territory agencies, and non-government organisations.
- Represent ABARES and the Department at meetings and conferences as required.
- Contribute to the planning and coordination of team operations to ensure goals and objectives are met, including identifying broader influences that may impact on the team’s work objectives.

**Skills and Capabilities**
- well-developed spatial data analytical skills as applied to land, forest, ecology or natural resource management, including use of large spatial datasets for national and sub-national reporting, and demonstrated expertise using ArcGIS and Ms Excel
