The National Anti-Corruption Commission

The National Anti-Corruption Commission enhances integrity in the Commonwealth public sector by deterring, detecting and preventing corrupt conduct involving Commonwealth public officials.

It does this through education, monitoring, investigation, reporting and referral.

Working with us

This is an exciting time to join the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC).

In its establishment phase, we are looking for outstanding individuals to embed robust systems and processes, deliver exciting and diverse projects and demonstrate innovation and commitment to integrity in the public service.

NACC staff work in a complex and dynamic setting where exceptional judgement and an ability to achieve results is critical.

About this opportunity

The NACC has a Witness Liaison Officer position available for immediate filling in either Canberra, Melbourne or Sydney.

This role is being offered as a 12-month non-ongoing position initially, with a view to becoming permanent. A merit list will be established to fill vacancies arising in the next 18 months.

About the role

The NACC takes its responsibility to those impacted by our investigative work seriously.

The purpose of the Witness Liaison Officer (WLO) role is to coordinate and improve the NACC's capability to communicate with and provide support to those individuals.

The WLO will provide professional advice, support and assistance to witnesses involved in and throughout the lifecycle of NACC processes including investigations and hearings.

The WLO may also work with at-risk persons not classified as witnesses, such as complainants.

The WLO does not provide counselling or have a therapeutic relationship with witnesses, and they do not provide an intensive case management role.

However, the WLO is responsible for overseeing the status of all witnesses assessed as being at risk.

If a witness does require clinical services, they will be referred to an external provider, other community agencies or their own treating health practitioner.

Key activities

Support NACC leadership in building culture and practice regarding witness wellbeing.
Provide specialist input to NACC policies, procedures, public and internal resources, and learning programs to ensure witness wellbeing, mental health risk, and witness communication and engagement are addressed.
Monitor, report and review the implementation of the NACC's Witness Wellbeing Policy and Procedures.
Provide high level professional advice, leadership, and coaching on witness wellbeing matters.
Build strong relationships with external providers and supervise the supply of contracted services, such as education and psychological support.
Collaborate with NACC staff to implement the Witness Wellbeing Policy and Procedures, including compiling witness engagement plans, conducting witness liaison and monitoring, and facilitating referrals to external support services.
Develop and maintain networks and make referrals to external support services and resources in line with witness needs and NACC policy.
The WLO's expertise may be used in relation to NACC WHS initiatives and other projects delivered.

The NACC is a small agency.

In addition to these activities, from time to time you may be asked to undertake tasks that are outside your usual span of duties but that are within the range of your capabilities.

Supporting one another in this way provides opportunities for exposure across the agency and is an integral part of the NACC's positive workplace culture.
