**Who we are**
The Australian Chief Veterinary Officer is the primary advisor to the Australian government on matters relating to Australia’s animal health status and associated systems.

**The Job**
As OCVO’s Science Communications and Engagement Officer you will play an important role in stakeholder outreach activities. This includes developing communications materials and other activities to promote awareness of key animal health issues and the work of the Australian Chief Veterinary Officer and supporting strong professional relationships with key biosecurity stakeholders.

Key duties include but are not limited to:

- Developing, implementing, and evaluating OCVO engagement and communications strategies, plans and activities.
- Monitoring media and other sources for relevant issues, and proactively identifying, reporting on, and managing risks and opportunities relating to communications and engagements activities.
- Coordinating responses to media enquiries for OCVO and supporting stakeholder engagement and communications in the event of emerging issues or events.
- Actively managing external stakeholders’ relationships, including with other government agencies and industry partners.
- Collaborating across the department including with departmental communications and technical specialists to support positive stakeholder engagement outcomes across the various OCVO functions.
- Representing the department in a professional context as required.
- Assisting with the progress of, or reporting about, other OCVO initiatives as required.
