**The Role**
Within the Defence Speechwriting section, speechwriters develop speeches and other leadership communication products (e.g. op-eds, scripts and statements) for Defence’s portfolio Ministers, the Secretary of the Department and the Chief of the Defence Force.
Speechwriting involves preparing outlines, coordinating requests for content, primary and secondary source research, drafting, editing, fact-checking and clearing. As part of the Defence Speechwriting team, speechwriters will write on a variety of portfolio, corporate and public interest issues and are responsible for developing informed, intelligible, persuasive and engaging narratives which consider and draw together the organisational, political, international, media, public and historical contexts.
Speechwriters will work closely with Ministerial Advisers, Departmental Liaison Officers, the Offices of the Secretary and Chief of the Defence Force, and Senior Executive and Star Rank Officers across the Defence organisation on speech objectives, content coverage and message development.
**About our Team**
The Media and Information Disclosure Branch, within the Ministerial and Executive Coordination and Communication Division, is responsible for day-to-day media operations across Defence; engagement with the media; providing media and public affairs support to ministers, senior Defence leaders and Defence Services and Groups; social media management; media monitoring; content development; speechwriting; newspaper publication; and imagery and videography production.
The Branch affords employees opportunities to gain a wide-ranging understanding of the Department and ADF’s work, to build networks across the Defence enterprise, to develop an awareness of ministerial and executive priorities, and to increase knowledge of defence issues which affect the Australian public and are reported on by the media.
The Defence Speechwriting team contributes to shaping messages and developing Defence’s public narrative in accordance with ministerial and executive communication priorities and objectives.
Writing for Defence’s Ministers and leaders, the speechwriting role comes with considerable responsibility. In particular, a need for thoroughness and diligence, as well as a willingness to work occasionally outside standard hours as necessitated by speechwriting requests.
