**A little bit about us**

**Communications Infrastructure Division (CID)**

Recent natural disasters including COVID-19, have shown how critical Australia’s telco sector is to Australia’s economy and society. Communications infrastructure like the NBN and 5G have helped Australians use digital tech to work remotely, learn online, and connect with services such as telehealth. CID is at the center of developing policy on telco issues, including leading on advice to the Australian Government on how to make sure all Australians realise the benefits of digital technologies.

But that is just the business as usual role of the division. On any given day, CID staff provide advice to government on satellite and space radiocommunications and submarine cables; brief the Minister on the NBN (including on matters concerning their role as a shareholder minister); prepare advice on the security implications of the next generation of mobile connectivity or a data breach; explore issues relating to digital inclusion, including in the context of the National Agreement on Closing the Gap for First Nations communities; as well as a range of other interesting and important functions.

**The opportunity we have available**

Are you ready to take the next step in your career? Are you looking for a policy advisor or program officer role? The communications infrastructure division is looking for you We have several EL1 vacancies across different sections of our division.
- Are you excited to improve policy and legislation surrounding Australia’s telecommunications sector, including shaping the next stage of the nation’s broadband? You could assist with the development and review of policy advice on a range of issues in this sector including drafting policy papers, cabinet submissions and drafting instructions.
- Are you interested in supporting the security and resilience of Australia’s telecommunications sector, leading initiatives to strengthen the sector’s capability to withstand cyber threats and natural disasters?
- Are you interested in shaping a more modern universal service framework to support both delivery of and funding of voice and broadband services on an equitable basis? If so, you’ll have opportunities to consider emerging technologies, changing consumer expectations and work on issues that have a real, direct impact on people’s lives right across Australia, especially those in regional and remote areas.
- Are you excited by the idea of ensuring Australia’s spectrum, a finite resource, is managed and allocated to support the long-term public interest, including for innovative technologies and public safety purposes or negotiating in international forums to improve international radiocommunications frameworks? You’ll be engaging with a broad range of stakeholders, domestic and international, and providing strategic advice to the Minister and senior executive.
