About the role

As a Government Benefits Advisor with the Queensland Public Trustee (QPT), you'll work in a small team to manage relationships with federal agencies such as Services Australia and the Department of Veterans' Affairs. You will respond to enquiries from a large regionally dispersed internal customer group, providing advice and guidance to ensure that customers of the QPT receive correct information and entitlements.

Design and deliver training and capability-building sessions for staff in collaboration with Services Australia and Department of Veterans' Affairs, making complex policy accessible and actionable.
Manage systems and processes linked to the Centrelink online portal and Business Hub, ensuring secure access and operational integrity.

This is a temporary part-time (5 days per fortnight) opportunity based in Brisbane CBD. Please download the role description for more information.
