Contribute towards Australia’s transport reform agenda
- Provide high quality legislative and legal policy advice
- Remuneration between $90,285 - $163,016

The National Transport Commission leads national land transport reform in support of Australian governments to improve safety, productivity, environmental outcomes and regulatory efficiency. Established under Commonwealth legislation and through an inter
- governmental agreement, the NTC is funded by the Commonwealth, states and territories.

As a key contributor to the national reform agenda, the NTC is accountable to Commonwealth, state and territory ministers responsible for transport and infrastructure who make up membership of the Infrastructure and Transport Ministers’ Meeting (ITMM). The NTC works closely with ITMM’s advisory body, the Infrastructure and Transport Senior Officials’ Committee (ITSOC), which includes the heads of Commonwealth, state and territory agencies.

Reporting to the Head of Legislative Reform, you will sit within the Legislative Reform Stream of the Regulatory Reform Portfolio and provide high quality legislative and legal policy advice and services on matters across the NTC Work Program. This will include identifying and advising on new and emerging legal, legislative and policy issues and their implications. You will play an integral role in contribution to developing nationally consistent regulatory frameworks and a large ongoing program of work to maintain a suite of national laws, model laws, regulatory guidance material and other instruments. These include but are not limited to; The Heavy Vehicle National Law, Rail Safety National Law, Australian Road Rules and the National Standard for Health Assessment of Rail Safety Workers.

Additionally, you will draft and review a range of legislative documentation, including drafting instructions, bills, statutory instruments, and Parliamentary materials dealing with highly sensitive and complex issues, and conduct negotiations to settle documentation. As a leader within the organisation, you will liaise with external stakeholders, including state and territory governments, Parliamentary Counsel, the heavy and light vehicle industries, academia, technology providers and associated agencies with a primary role in transport reform.

To be considered for this role, you will have experience and knowledge of legislative processes and associated policy, including parliamentary and legal requirements along with high level statutory interpretation skills. You will have a strong track record of delivering legislative reform outcomes across national public policy settings. This will include providing strategic and authoritative advice on complex legislative and policy issues under tight timelines and ability to work collaboratively with internal and external stakeholders. Additionally, you will be comfortable representing organizations and engage productively with jurisdictions and industry representatives. Formal qualifications in Law will be required and experience in transport policy would be considered highly desirable.

If you do not have a legal practicing certificate but bring experience in legislative environment, we would encourage you to apply. Classification of successful applicants at either the Principal Policy Advisor or Senior Policy Advisor level will be dependent upon level of experience and achievements against the main duties and key selection criteria.

This is an exciting opportunity to play a pivotal role in contributing to Australia’s transport reform agenda.
