Aps6 - Project Coordinator - Nves Regulator

**Contact Officer**:
**Closing Date**:
**11.59pm AEST, Friday 20 September 2024**

**Our Department Values**

Our values set the direction for what it means to work in our department. They inform the standard and expectations of behaviours, skills and capabilities and the attributes we currently have, will continually work to achieve and develop, and that we use to acknowledge and attract, retain and recruit into our department.

**The opportunity we have available**

**About the Division**:
The Surface Transport Emissions and Policy Division develops and implements national reforms in surface transport policy and regulation (maritime, shipping, rail and road transport) with the aim of achieving efficient, productive, safe, and sustainable outcomes that enhance Australia's international competitiveness and promote decarbonisation. NVES is a big part of that.

The NVES is the Australian Government's new policy to reduce light vehicle carbon emissions - essentially, Australia's CO2 standard for cars. For context, in 2023, light vehicles represented 60% of all transport emissions, and 11.4% of Australia's total carbon emissions. These emissions are increasing, with transport projected to be Australia's largest source of emissions by 2030.

The NVES is a significant contribution to Australia's Net Zero ambitions and garners substantial media, ministerial and executive interest across Transport and Energy portfolios. Under the NVES, vehicle suppliers will be encouraged to import low and zero emissions vehicles. The NVES is expected to achieve 321 million tonnes of abatement, $95 billion in fuel savings and $5 billion in health savings out to 2050.

The NVES Regulator will ensure industry complies with the requirements of the NVES, including reporting CO2 emissions for new vehicles supplied, and will manage the emissions trading register.

We are a committed group of public servants who want to get this step change in Australia's emissions management right. We are communicators, graduates, regulators, business analysts, generalists, specialists, collaborators, and people who deliver efficiently and effectively.
