About the Section:
The Strategy and Coordination Section provides strategic advice on complex policy problems that cut across the ACCU Scheme.

It is the central point of contact for a number of key functions including providing the agency's input into new ACCU methods, that determine the rules and eligible activities for running an ACCU Scheme project.

The team has lead responsibility for implementing changes for the ACCU Scheme including supporting transparency of co-benefits associated with ACCUs.

The team coordinates the Division's participation in events for the ACCU Scheme.

The section maintains strong working relationships with internal and external stakeholders, particularly the Department of Climate Change, Energy, the Environment and Water that develops the ACCU methods, CER assessment teams that register and issue ACCUs to ACCU Scheme projects and Legal Services and Governance Branch that provides legal advice as required.

As a key consultation point for legislative changes that impact the agency, you will gain experience in understanding the development of legislation.

You will also work with a large stakeholder base and build knowledge of regulatory practice and policy.

The work involves complex problems that require and develop creative and logical thinking that delivers outcomes in terms of emissions reductions, and co-benefits such as biodiversity and supporting indigenous communities.
