**Branch Responsibilities**

The Department of Health and Aged Care recognises that people want modern workplaces,

a flexible culture, and the ability to choose how they work - whether that be remotely or in

the office, together or independently.

The New Ways of Working (NWOW) Branch is the catalyst for making that happen across

the Department of Health and Aged Care. The branch aims to create an environment for all

Health staff that empowers individuals and teams to do their best work. It brings together a

better designed physical workplace, mobile technology and new work practices to deliver a

more flexible, healthier work environment that promotes adaptability, collaboration, and

performance. Within the Branch we role model these behaviours with ourselves and our

stakeholders. We each have specific roles, balanced with a mindset and collective

expectation to work across the Branch to ensure we have a high level of customer service

and professionalism.

The Branch works closely with other corporate areas of Health, including Property, IT and

HR, to ensure we collectively deliver the clear and measurable benefits related to

transforming our culture and workplace. We bring our codesign, engagement,

communication, change and project management support expertise together to collaborate

and embed effective and positive change to the way Health employees do their work.

NWOW is one of the department’s top priorities, and we are leading edge in the APS for

investing in our culture, IT and physical workspaces to deliver a work environment that

supports our staff to do their best work.
