Canberra, Australia Australian Electoral Commission Full time

**Agency Purpose**

The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) is an independent statutory authority established by the Australian Government to maintain an impartial and independent electoral system for eligible voters through active electoral roll management, efficient delivery of polling services, and targeted education and public awareness programs.

**The AEC’s values and commitments**

The AEC values and commitments are an essential component of our operating environment and frame how AEC staff work. The AEC's focus is on electoral integrity through the values of quality, agility and professionalism.

**The Team**

The Communication, Education and Engagement Branch has staff geographically dispersed throughout Australia. Our role is to ensure voters are informed about the process of voting in federal elections and referendums and encourage them to participate.

We are an energetic and passionate branch that manages all strategic communication and internal communication and creates advertising campaigns to support major electoral events and engages at the grassroots with communities, with a focus on multicultural communities and First Nations communities.

The Branch delivers community education for voters who need additional support to be able to participate in electoral events and manages the National Electoral Education Centre, which hosts around 80,000 school students and teachers each year.

**The Opportunity**

As a Branch Project Officer, your primary responsibility is to ensure the efficient functioning of the branch, working closely with the Assistant Commissioner. This involves serving as the main point of contact and facilitating clear communication and coordination.

Additionally, you’ll provide executive assistance, collaborate on corporate initiatives with other Branch Project Officers, and contribute to various communication and engagement projects. Administrative tasks such as travel arrangements, invoice processing, and procurement support are also part of the role. You will assist with stakeholder meetings, committee secretariat duties, election activities, resource management, and recruitment processes within the branch.

We’re looking for someone who has a positive, can-do attitude and is looking forward to becoming a critical member of the branch. You will have the opportunity to work with people who are passionate about ensuring all voters are supported to participate in electoral events.

To excel you’ll have:

- Strong organisational skills.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills.
- Strong attention to detail and excellent time management skills.
- Ability to effectively solve problems.
- The ability to prioritise tasks and manage competing deadlines efficiently.
- The ability to work with internal and external stakeholders of varying seniority.

**Eligibility**
- AEC employees must be Australian citizens.
- Any person who is, and seen to be active in political affairs, and intends to publicly carry on this activity, may compromise the strict neutrality of the AEC and cannot be considered.
- Applicants are required to consent to, undergo, obtain and maintain a character clearance.
- Applicants are required to consent to, undergo, obtain and maintain the security clearance required for this role.
