The Access and Public Engagement Branch is the public face of the National Archives of Australia, delivering reference, description and research services, examination for the release of records in the open period, exhibition, education and public programs, publishing (including digital publishing), marketing, partnerships and events on site at national and state offices, and online. All programs and activities support the key National Archives’ role of providing an accessible, visible and interpreted national archival collection.

The Access Examination Section facilitates access to the national archival collection by reviewing records for any continuing sensitivities prior to their public release under the Archives Act 1983, including the identification of material that is exempt from public access. The section develops policies and procedures for the assessment of continuing sensitivities in records and manages the process across National Archives. The section manages internal reconsiderations and appeals to the Administrative Review Tribunal for decisions made under the Archives Act 1983 along with arrangements with Australian Government (Cwlth) agencies to ensure best-practice and sound referral arrangements. The section facilitates the work of other business areas within National Archives by releasing records for research, exhibitions, promotion and other visitor engagement activities.

Under general direction the main duties of the role are to:

- Provide administrative support to the section, which can include ordering, retrieving, returning records and maintaining the physical and intellectual control of records.
- Work collaboratively to consult and share information with the team, actively engage in knowledge transfer and seek input from others to achieve business outcomes, for example, workflows between sections.
- Liaise with internal and external stakeholders and provide appropriate advice and assistance as required.
- Prioritise tasks effectively to manage changing deadlines and competing demands
