**Who we are**
Biosecurity Operations Division delivers nationally integrated biosecurity and imported food regulatory activities to ensure goods, conveyances and travellers meet Australia's import requirements. Division operations include policy and regulatory control setting across imported food and biosecurity risk pathways, as well as the delivery of assessment, inspection, community engagement and contact centre services. The division also partners with industry to improve the delivery of regulatory functions. The division spans a range of regulatory activities that plays a critical role in reducing risk and shaping our nation to become one of the few countries in the world to remain free from the world’s most severe pests and diseases.
Cargo & Conveyance Policy & Detection Capability is responsible for determining, developing, and enabling the strategies, regulatory frameworks, tactics and interventions that manage biosecurity and other risks within the transport and trade pathways into Australia. This pathway brings together how the department detects and responds to biosecurity risk and non-compliance, including through deploying surveillance and verification tools and capabilities such as detector dog teams and x-rays. The branch sets operational policy for the biosecurity clearance of all air and sea cargo, conveyances and ports, seasonal pests, and policy assessment related matters.
This position is based in the Detector Dog Capability team within the Detection Capability Section. The section works closely with internal and external stakeholders to improve the effectiveness of border risk screening by providing biosecurity risk detection capability across the mail, traveller, and cargo pathways. The section is responsible for the development and management of the detector dog program, 2D and 3D x-ray capability and for the delivery of highly innovative detection capability projects.

- Provide secretariat and administrative support for the Detector Dog Working Group and Detector Dog Steering Committee.
