Our 5,500 employees work in a range of environments and locations around Australia from airports and abattoirs to laboratories and foreign countries daily to improve the value, productivity and profitability of the agricultural sector.

Around two-thirds of Australia’s agricultural products are exported, and the Agricultural Trade and Regulation Group is responsible for ensuring Australia’s agri-food and fibre supply chains can safely and securely supply Australia and the world by maintaining and improving market access for Australian exporters. It does this by using our extensive networks, regulatory and technical expertise, and good relationships. The Group includes four Divisions and 16 international posts.

You will provide high level advice to the Minister, the Secretary and the departmental executive.
