**About You**

You will be an outcomes focused passionate advocate for the EPA who possesses strong strategic thinking skills and a genuine passion for delving into regulatory best practices. Your role will involve identifying how the NSW EPA can best protect the environment and promote human health.

Our Circular Economy policy branch leads transformational and strategic projects to support NSW’s transition to a circular economy. A circular economy is where we minimise what we throw away, we use and reuse our resources as efficiently as possible, and we ensure our waste is managed safely to prevent it becoming a problem for future generations. Key priorities for the branch include reviewing critical policy settings like the waste levy that drive resource recovery, planning the phase-out of single-use and unnecessary plastics, supporting product stewardship arrangements to better manage problem waste, and developing new policy proposals to drive more reuse and repair.

Our Climate and Environment Protection policy branch leads policy that is highly visible and strategically important to the EPA or the NSW Government, including climate change, forestry, and legislative reform. This work requires agile and multi-skilled teams capable of delivering on business priorities.

Our Ecologically Sustainable Development policy branch leads strategic policy and regulatory reform, cabinet processes and intergovernmental relations across the EPA for contaminated land, water, noise, chemicals, energy, radiation, dangerous goods and pesticides. The team has a critical role in collaborating across governments and within the NSW Government, communities and our First Nations People to identify emerging issues and to influence and deliver leading edge policy solutions to improve environmental and human health outcomes for the people of NSW.
