**Who we are**
The newly formed Nature Positive Integration Division will deliver strategic policy with a sole focus on the environment, providing governance, high-level policy oversight and program delivery. The Division consists of three branches: Regional Planning and Landscapes, Environmental Policy Integration and Natural Heritage Trust.

The Environmental Policy Integration Branch (EPIB) has been established to support the delivery of priority programs of work across the Environment and Water areas of DCCEEW. EPIB’s work includes:

- supporting strategic delivery of priority projects under the Nature Positive Agenda

Biodiversity Policy leads development and negotiation of Australian Government positions to pursue Australia’s interests under the Convention of Biological Diversity and the development and implementation of Australia’s national biodiversity strategy and action plan (NBSAP). A key priority for the team is to align Australia’s NBSAP with the GBF, including by agreeing national targets with the states and territories for each of the goals and targets in the GBF. The team is also continuing to engage in a range of international workstreams, including the development of indicators to track global implementation of the GBF.

We are passionate about our work and always looking for better ways of doing things. This is an exciting opportunity to deliver on some of Australia’s most important policy challenges.

**The Job**
Biodiversity Policy is working to implement outcomes of the new Kunming Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework (GBF) in addition to other priorities. The GBF is the most significant global agreement on biodiversity in a decade, and will shape global and domestic biodiversity action to 2030. We are looking for innovative, collaborative, and empathetic people who are interested in delivering long lasting environmental outcomes. There are opportunities to work on both international and domestic workstreams.

- working as part of a team, including as a supervisor, and contributing to effective team culture.

We are open to discussing flexible working arrangements and new ways of working.
