**Our Department Values**

Our values set the direction for what it means to work in our department. They inform the standard and expectations of behaviours, skills and capabilities and the attributes we currently have, will continually work to achieve and develop, and that we use to acknowledge and attract, retain and recruit into our department.

**The opportunity we have available**

**The Regions, Cities and Territories Group**, comprised of the three Divisions below, provides policy leadership and delivers programs to support regional development and local governments, improve living standards and facilitate economic growth in cities and regions including northern Australia, and providing governance frameworks and services to support communities in the territories. The Group is looking to fill a range of vacancies across the three Divisions.

**The Partnerships and Projects Division (PPD)** plays an important role in achieving economic and community development and unlocking potential across Australia’s regions and supports the delivery of key national priorities. Our teams deliver government priorities right across Australia and develop genuine partnerships between the three levels of government, business and community to support the delivery of key national priorities. PPD has 4 branches: Cities and Suburbs Unit, City and Regional Partnerships Branch, Office of Northern Australia and Northern Australia Investments and Projects Branch.

**The Territories Division** administers the unique territories of Christmas Island, the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, Jervis Bay and Norfolk Island; and manages national interests in the Australian Capital Territory and the Northern Territory. The division delivers good governance and state-type services in the territories by providing governance frameworks and working with service delivery partners to provide services to support these communities. The Division has 3 branches: Indian Ocean Territories, Mainland Territories and Norfolk Island.

**The Regional Development and Local Government Division (RDLG)** delivers grants, coordinates proposals and provides policy advice to the Australian Government relating to regional strategic issues and microeconomic reform. The Division works to strengthen the sustainability, capacity and diversity of regional economies through place-based policy and program development; negotiation of local partnerships between all levels of government and local communities; and the provision of grants and other financial assistance to regional economies via local councils, non-profits and other non-government entities - supporting small community organisations to invest in transformative infrastructure projects. The Division has 4 branches: Regional Policy; Local Government, Regional Intelligence and Data; Major Projects and Governance; and Regional Programs.

**Divisional Support Units (DSU) **are key to ensuring the Group complies with reporting and administrative requirements of the Department. Each division has a DSU team that provides expertise and support to staff through a wide range of work such as Government budget processes, financial management and reporting, procurements and grants, program and contract management, HR, workforce planning, coordination, governance and business planning, communications and relationship management.
