**The Role**
Are you passionate about protecting Australia’s national security?
- Do you have an understanding of threats to Defence’s security?
- Do you have experience in policy writing?

If so, you may be the perfect fit for the Security Advisor role in the Defence Security Division’s (DS Division) Directorate of Security Assurance (DoSA).You will be an integral part of the DoSA ACT team’s policy and special projects function. Under broad direction, you will engage in complex, whole-of-Defence policy problems with a wide variety of stakeholders in both Canberra and the regions.

You will take part in the provision of highly varied written security advice to seniors, Defence stakeholders and committees. You will support, or lead with broad direction DoSA or broader Defence Security wide projects as they arise. These projects can be highly varied covering training and skilling, physical security, security culture development and threat management. You will also have the opportunity to learn physical security certification and accreditation, though this will form a more minor part of the role.

**About our Team**
DoSA directly supports Defence capabilities and operations through the provision of protective security policy, advice and assurance, and validates security practices and measures to protect Defence people, information and assets. DoSA plays a primary role in the certification and accreditation of physical security zones across Defence business areas and external Defence industry company and stakeholder sites, and contributes towards the establishment of governance and policies associated with it. The Defence Security (DS) Division in SEG provides adaptable security services to Defence and defence industry.

DS Division keeps the Defence enterprise safe by protecting and advancing Defence’s strategic interests through the provision of protective security services. The work of an APS 6 - Security Advisor is conducted in a regional-based team that undertakes complex and administrative protective security assurance activities and tasks in support of DS Division’s customer needs. Defence business areas and defence industry companies that access, store and handle classified official material are required to maintain a specific level of protection around this material. It is the role of the APS 6 - Security Advisor to support these customers to understand these requirements based on risk, and implement appropriate physical security requirements, as required under Government and Departmental security policy. Engagement with Defence stakeholders and other Government bodies is required to achieve this.

The Security Advisor must have excellent team working and personnel skills, with the ability and willingness to assist the more technical members of the team in determining and providing protective security advice.
- A general knowledge of Australian Government security policy will be valuable, though not essential. Specifically the Australian Government Protective Security Policy Framework (PSPF), Information Security Manual (ISM) and the Defence Security Principles Framework (DSPF).
- Knowledge and understanding of applicable legislative and policy frameworks, including the PSPF, ISM and DSPF.
- Adaptability, resilience and flexibility in the face of changing and competing priorities.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex security data and trends.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex information to non-technical stakeholders.
- Ability to develop, maintain and strengthen strategic relationships, engage and liaise across a broad range of stakeholders to support achieve results.
- Demonstrated record of delivering accurate and timely policy or protective security advice.As a minimum requirement for the DoSA APS 6 - Security Advisor (Assurance) role, you must hold, or be able to obtain and maintain, a valid Negative Vetting Level 1 Security Clearance, see ‘Eligibility’ criteria further below.

Previous experience and qualifications in protective security or security risk management is highly desirable.
