Canberra, ACT, Australia beBeePublicHealth Full time $176,239 - $235,999

The Australian Government has introduced legislation to Parliament to establish a statutory Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC). In readiness for the commencement of the agency on 1 January 2026, the Government is seeking to appoint the CDC's inaugural Director General.

The CDC will be a game-changer, ensuring Australia is better prepared for the next pandemic and the many other health challenges we will face in the intervening years.

The CDC will provide a national lens on public health risks, bringing together evidence and expertise to complement and support state and territory responsibilities. Headquartered in Canberra, the agency will be Australia's chief source of independent, national expert public health advice, including on how best to respond to infectious disease outbreaks.

As a leader in disease control, preparedness, response, and prevention, the CDC will collaborate with relevant jurisdictional, national, and international entities to strengthen Australia's public health infrastructure and insights.

The Opportunity

The Department of Health is seeking applications from high-calibre candidates to lead the CDC. You will be exceptionally well-credentialed in driving improvements in public health, have a proven record in leading an organization through transformational change and public communications.

You will be a forward-thinking, innovative leader with a highly collaborative approach. You will inspire trust and confidence across a wide array of stakeholders, from government officials to the public, while maintaining a rigorous scientific foundation for advice and decisions.

As the key advisor on matters related to public health threats, disease prevention, and controls in Australia, you will be the public face of the CDC. You will be the CDC's key representative at public forums, parliamentary hearings, and international conferences.

Maintaining relationships with public health research institutions and communicable and non-communicable disease professional groups, you will play a key role in ensuring the CDC is at the forefront of data analytics for disease surveillance and public health reporting.

An attractive remuneration package will be offered to the successful candidate.

Qualifications

An advanced degree in Public Health, Epidemiology, or a related field is mandatory.
