Please reach out to the contact officer if you would like to explore what flexibility might look like for you, such as part time work, variable start and finish times or working from home.

**Who we are**

Our purpose in the People Branch is to provide the human resource building blocks to enable people to thrive at work and improve the lives of all Australians. We do this by partnering and collaborating with stakeholders, using our knowledge, experience and judgement to enable people and business areas to perform at their best.
