A Queensland Ombudsman Intake Officer is the first point of contact for complainants and agencies seeking to contact the Office about administrative complaints. Working for the Queensland Ombudsman will give you the opportunity to make a difference in the community by helping to deliver fair and accountable public administration.

The Office of the Queensland Ombudsman investigates complaints about the actions and decisions of Queensland government departments and agencies, local councils and publicly funded universities; and works with agencies to improve their decision-making.

We acknowledge our role in protecting and promoting human rights. Recruitment decisions are made in a way that protects these rights.

As an Intake Officer, you will be responsible for the management of a caseload of files involving the registration, triage and assessment of complaints.
