Affirmative Measures positions Jobs in the APS are open to all Australian citizens.
There are some jobs, though, that are openonly to specific members of the Australian population.
This practice is known as an Affirmativemeasure and is a targeted strategy to ensure the diversity of the APS workforce reflects thediversity of the Australian population.
Any job can be restricted to Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander people only, and it doesn'tnecessarily have to involve working on Indigenous issues.
If a position has been advertised asan Affirmative measure, it will be clearly marked as such.The use of the Indigenous Affirmative Measures provision at AIATSIS allows for targetedrecruitment of Indigenous Australians into the organisation.
If you are applying for an Affirmative Measures position, you will need to indicate your Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage on our application form and provide confirmation if required.
What is Cultural Capability?As all positions at AIATSIS are 'Identified' each position will have various elements ofinvolvement with the delivery of Indigenous specific services, programs, and policies as part of AIATSIS core functions.
AIATSIS therefore needs to also identify the cultural knowledge; skillsand personal attributes needed to deliver the required outcomes.Every part of how we work, who we work with and for, requires varying levels of knowledge of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, protocols and an understanding of issues thatenable effective communication and ultimately effective performance in the role.
