**The Role**
As a Defence Ranger you will exercise considerable responsibility in enabling public access to Beecroft Weapons Range. Your duties will be varied and include supporting environmental and land management, visitor and stakeholder liaison and educational activities, protection of indigenous sites of cultural significance, and field based activities such as emergency response management and compliance with the Defence (Public Area) By-laws.

**About our Team**
DOTAM’s three main functions are:

- Delivery of Bushfire Mitigation activities across the entire Defence Estate, and
- The coordination of the Security & Estate Group support to major military exercises and facilitation of Defence domestic operations within Australia. This includes the full range of Joint Operations Support Staff (JOSS) services comprising the coordination of Defence Assistance to the Civil Community, Defence Force Aid to the Civil Authority and ceremonial requests.

The Directorate works closely with the Services, aiming to provide quality military exercise areas and facilities to ensure Defence and partnered countries can operate safely on modern and sustainable training areas. The development of these areas ultimately ensures forces can enhance Defence capability and readiness, helping protect our nation. DOTAM HQ is currently based in Campbell Park Canberra and the team works in an integrated (civilian and military) environment.

The organisation consists of a team of approximately 220 Defence personnel (ADF, APS, Reserve) plus contracted personnel located nationally across five regions. The Defence Rangers are a small team whose principal role is managing public access including public safety and environmental compliance. They identify safety related maintenance, respond to issues arising from public areas us, such as campgrounds, beaches and the lighthouse precinct, and they take charge of public visitors in the event of an emergency incident, such as bush fire.
