APS 5 - $78,548 - $86,168 per annum plus superannuation
- AGVET Chemicals, Fisheries, Forestry & Engagement Division
- Canberra, ACT
**Who we are**
**The AgVet Chemicals, Fisheries and Forestry Division** (AFFD) works with the states, territories, industry and other stakeholders - including the Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority and Australian Fisheries Management Authority - to develop and implement policies and programs to support Australian agriculture, fisheries and forestry industries to promote better resource management and sustainability, and increase productivity and innovation.
**The Agricultural Policy Division** (APD) shapes policy settings and manages programs that support the growth of Australia’s agriculture sector and make it more globally competitive and profitable. APD influences across boundaries, collaborating across government to guide solutions on cross-cutting issues and partnering with others, including industry and unions, to strengthen the sector and unlock further productivity growth. We lead policy development and provide advice on critical and emerging issues, develop and administer grant programs to support a stronger sector, and drive reforms to improve outcomes for industry, including modernising the legislation that underpins industry and government co-investment in key priorities.
**The Sustainability, Climate and Strategy Division** (SCSD) brings together a suite of policy and program functions supporting a climate-smart, sustainable agriculture sector in Australia. SCSD develops evidenced-based climate policy and advice to support emissions reduction and climate adaptation programs. We shape and influence policies across the Commonwealth that impact land use change and climate-smart practices on-farm and ensure the sector is ideally placed in the broader Net Zero planning and reforms. SCSD is responsible for delivering key government programs supporting sustainable practices and agricultural productivity, including the $302 million Natural Heritage Trust Program and $20 million Soil Partnership initiative.
**The Jobs**

- mentoring developing Executive Assistants, using your experience to provide coaching and guidance to build capability
