Canberra, Australia ACT Government Full time

It’s the pilot that flies the plane however it’s the air traffic controller that makes sure we all fly safely and arrive at our correct destination. We are looking for a Directorate Liaison Officer (DLO) who has the communication and coordination skills, judgement, flexibility and resilience to be the next ‘Air Traffic Controller’ between Access Canberra and our Minister’s Office. When you exit the role, you will have made more connections than an international airline crew, know your way around the ACT Legislative Assembly like a pilot knows their way around an airport, and have developed a deep understanding of the workings of government to support a high flying public service career.

The DLO performs a key role to represent Access Canberra within the Minister’s office and to provide a key link between the Head of Access Canberra and executive on ministerial matters by ensuring strong links with our portfolio Minister/s and other Ministerial offices. As part of a high-performing team within the Office of the Deputy Director-General, you will make a strong contribution to ensuring Access Canberra is able to respond to and provide timely support on government priorities. The DLO provides a key link between the organisation and our Minister/s by facilitating the timely flow of information as well as providing timely advice on matters relating to Access Canberra, the ACT’s Legislative Assembly and Cabinet. You will be exposed to a wide range of regulatory compliance and service delivery matters so must be able to manage sensitive and confidential information with the utmost discretion.

Your attention to detail, excellent relationship management skills and determination to achieve positive outcomes will set you up for success in this role and beyond.

Our team believes in enabling creativity and innovation while also bringing a spirit of fun to everything we do. If you’re looking for your next exciting career challenge where no day is the same and you’re given the opportunity to develop and grow, then this is the role for you.

The ACT Public Service supports workforce diversity and is committed to creating an inclusive workplace. As part of this commitment, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, culturally and linguistically diverse people and those who identify as LGBTIQ+ are encouraged to apply.
