**The Opportunity**

Cabinet Division delivers high-quality support to the Prime Minister, the Cabinet Secretary, the Cabinet and its Committees, and the Governor General. We improve the lives of Australians by drawing on our privileged position at the heart of government decision making, to promote clear and coherent processes, high quality information and collaborative decision-making.

As an EL1 in the Legal Information Integrity section, you will:

- support the work of the Federal Executive Council (EXCO), and briefing for the Governor-General on items coming to that forum. You will operate in a dynamic environment at the heart of government, engaging with Departments and Agencies to provide guidance and advice on bringing items forward to EXCO. You will play an integral role in oversight of the accuracy, timeliness, drafting and provision of EXCO documents for consideration by the Governor-General, or;
- take responsibility for the protection of Cabinet information, including information that is before royal commissions, courts and tribunals and in response to freedom of information requests. You will collaborate with legal teams across the Commonwealth to advise on the protection of Cabinet information. This work is dynamic, complex and at times challenging due to the significance of the issues at hand. This role responds to access requests for the Cabinet documents of former governments and supports provision of Cabinet documents in response to compulsory and voluntary processes to produce documents by regulators, courts and tribunals.

We are looking for EL1 officers with a sound understanding of the legislative, litigation, or legal policy processes with coordination and policy expertise, or those who have the potential to quickly develop these skills. The work is often fast-paced and often has a high degree of autonomy and visibility within PM&C and across Government. You will have the opportunity to work with highly skilled and experienced colleagues and leaders in a supportive and collaborative work environment.

The skills required include some of all of the following: legal policy, legal analysis, coordination and liaison, and secretariat functions.

These roles represents a unique opportunity to work with Cabinet information and gain a working knowledge of the Cabinet and Executive Council processes that support Government decision-making. The role requires an effective interpersonal style, resilience and good judgment, as well as an ability to work appropriately with sensitive and privileged information. You will have excellent written and verbal communication, liaison and stakeholder engagement skills, as well as the ability to establish and maintain the necessary effective professional relationships.

The ability to obtain an NV1 security clearance or higher is required. Legal qualifications or experience would be well regarded.

**Eligibility**

To be eligible for this position you must be an Australian Citizen.
