Position Summary

The Business and Communications Group comprises four units which support the organisation by providing

Human Resource (HR), internal and external communications, website, finance, payroll, and accommodation

services.

The People and Facilities Unit (PFU) provides internal client service and support for workplace relations,

recruitment, learning and development, work health and safety, workforce reporting, staff performance,

reception, and facilities.

We are a small team with a fun and collaborative culture. We provide a supportive environment where

employees can do their best work and be their best selves while working on rewarding challenges and

making a meaningful impact.

We are seeking HR professionals experienced in a range of HR functions, for one new position and one

You will have experience in managing and delivering key HR projects and initiatives and be able to develop

and maintain working relationships across the organisation. You will have the ability to be responsive,

adaptable, and resourceful within a busy team.

We are looking for people who are passionate about HR, who can be flexible and work under pressure in a

small team environment. While all members of the HR team are currently located in Canberra, there may be

an opportunity for one of the APS6 positions to be based in our Sydney office.
