The Passports Modernisation and Identity Section (PSM) is responsible for Identity Policy and delivery of the Passport Modernisation agenda. PSM works with APO business, service delivery partners and stakeholders to maintain identity integrity and improve the way APO deliver Australian Passports to the Australian public.

The APO is seeking to expand the service design team as part of the modernisation program. The Lead Service Designer will direct and guide the research, prototype and testing of service designs.
