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 department supports workplace diversity and values the contribution of people from diverse backgrounds. We encourage applications from Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander peoples, people with disability, people with cultural and linguistic diversity, and LGBTIQ people. The department is committed to achieving gender equality and, in particular, supporting women's progression into senior leadership.

The opportunity we have available
The Assurance, Integrity, Risk and Governance Branch lead's the department's pro-integrity culture to ensure it meets all relevant governance, risk management and assurance requirements including supporting Executive committees, overseeing the Risk Management Policy and Framework and Integrity Strategy, administering the department's disaster preparedness arrangements, undertaking fraud investigations, managing the internal audit program and providing audit liaison services to the department.

The Branch also manages the department's Performance Reporting Framework and supports the department to meet its performance reporting obligations. The Branch works directly with performance measure owners to ensure measures meet legislative requirements and provide a complete performance picture for the department; as well as overseeing the production of the Corporate Plan and Annual Report.

Being part of the Branch provides a unique opportunity to gain an overall view of the department's broad scope of policy, program and regulatory activities.

This is an opportunity for people who are keen to work in a fast paced, dynamic team, get an aerial view of everything the department is responsible for, and gain an in depth understanding of the department's planning, reporting and compliance obligations as a non-corporate Commonwealth entity under the Public Governance, Performance and Accountability Act (PGPA) 2013, The PGPA Rule 2014, and subsequent Resource Management Guides.

We are looking for talented, professional and enthusiastic individuals to fill a number of positions.

We have positions available in the Assurance Section, Integrity Projects Section, Risk Section, Governance Section and the Performance and Corporate Reporting Section at the APS 5 and APS 6 level.

We are looking for a diverse range of skills and experience in related functions and/or program, policy and program functions. We are seeking individuals who are willing to learn and develop skills in audit, governance, risk, performance reporting, integrity and governance secretariat services. We will provide on the job training and professional development.

These opportunities would build on experience in related roles or expertise from program, policy and regulatory roles and allow you to contribute to the department's objectives and values. The skills and experience gained from working in the branch are highly transferable, either to build a career in the governance, assurance and risk fields or to broaden your experience for other roles across the APS.
