Canberra, 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 Fraud Investigations Unit forms a part of the AEC’s Defending Democracy Unit and undertakes fraud and corruption control activities for the AEC, including governance, enterprise risks, awareness, reporting and investigations related to corporate fraud and fraud against the Commonwealth Electoral Act (the Act) 1918.

The Fraud Investigations Unit (FIU) manages day-to-day matters relating to electoral integrity and the integrity of the electoral roll. The overall aim of the FIU is to support the AEC in preventing, detecting and dealing with fraud and corruption.

**The Opportunities**

We are looking for an energetic and motivated people to join the Fraud Investigations Unit. The successful applicant will have exceptional communication skills in order to develop and maintain key internal and external relationships, including collaborating with key stakeholders to identify opportunities, achieve outcomes and facilitate cooperation.

Working with a dynamic team, Investigations Officers undertake analysis and investigations relating to threats to the integrity of electoral processes and in particular the integrity of the electoral roll. Investigations Officer’s also undertake analysis and investigation into allegations of corporate fraud matters within the AEC. The role can include undertaking complex and/or sensitive work under broad direction. Investigations Officer’s also have a significant role in promoting fraud awareness across the AEC.

You will have the opportunity to contribute to the 2024-25 federal election where the volume of requests for advice and matters, along with the urgency to resolve matters, will increase significantly.

Given the nature of the work, the operational requirements of such positions within the DDU generally require work in person in Canberra covering standard business hours. During federal electoral events different work patterns will be necessary to cover the AEC's expanded work demands.

**Investigations Officer/ Assistant**

As Investigations Officers in the FIU, you will investigate corporate fraud matters along with analysis and investigation into electoral integrity issues to continually assess the integrity of the electoral roll.

You will collaborate with key stakeholders including business areas across the agency, state electoral commissions and the Australian Federal Police.

You will work to improve the AEC’s fraud control and anti-corruption capabilities including governance, risk management assessments and research.
