**Work with us**

Communications and connectivity are vital to Australia’s economy and society. High quality communications services, like phone and broadband, are becoming increasingly relied on by communities for everything from emergency notifications through to banking.

We are at the centre of developing policy and programs to ensure all Australians have access to reliable communications and postal services nationally, including leading the Australian Government’s response to improve communications connectivity for regional, rural and remote Australians.

The Post, International Telecommunications and ACMA Branch is recruiting to support delivery of a significant forward work program. On any given day, PITA staff provide advice to government on a wide range of postal policy and international telecommunications matters, promote Australia’s communications interests on the international stage, explore issues relating to the delivery of universal postal services to regional rural and remote communities, as well as support a range of other interesting and important governance functions for the communications regulator, Australian Communications Media Authority, and Australia Post.

Are you ready to take the next step in your career? Are you looking for a policy advisor role? PITA Branch is looking for you We have a number of expected vacancies across different sections of our branch.
- Are you excited by the idea of working in a fast-paced area to deliver a number of key priorities to support Australia Post to modernise operations and postal services across Australia. We have a spot just for you
- Are you passionate about ensuring communities across Australia, including in the regions, have the connectivity and access to services they need to interact and do business on and offline? You’ll be engaging with a broad range of stakeholders, and contributing to the development and implementation of new and existing initiatives.
- Are you interested in the good governance of Australia’s key communications agencies? Perhaps assisting with developing protocols to support oversight and governance of Australia’s biggest government owned enterprise, Australia Post, or our national communications and media regulator, the Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) is right for you.
