- working collaboratively with colleagues, and internal and external stakeholders
- other parliamentary liaison support for the branch as required.

At times, this role will require after hours and weekend work and this is managed through a roster arrangement within the team. Under the Department of Finance’s Enterprise Agreement 2024-27, an allowance of $20,100 is paid to Cabinet Liaison Officers to cover these periods.

This role is a designated security classified position. A clearance at the baseline level is essential, with the understanding that a security clearance at the Negative Vetting Level 1 will be attained. Practical understanding and familiarity of the Cabinet Handbook (PM&C) is desirable.

Undertaking the Cabinet Liaison Officer role is an opportunity to develop unique skills and to gain a strong insight into the role of the Australian Public Service in supporting the highest level of collective decision-making in government.
