"Consider the ACT Government as a serious career option. There are so many opportunities to develop your skills and gain experience in a number of areas.

I began my ACT Government career in the Canberra Connect Shopfronts. Since then I have worked as a Training Officer, Policy Officer and Business Analyst. All this in three years!"

Julia Taylor

Bus Driver

ACTION

"As an ACTION bus driver you're given a lot of responsibility as well as the freedom to 'be your own boss'.

I’ve worked for ACTION for three and a half years and I enjoy that I’m out and about - not stuck in an office all day."

Paul Townsley

Manager, Integrated Indigenous Services
Office for Children Youth and Family Support

"My decision to move to Canberra from the UK to work in the ACT Public Service as a social worker has been a positive experience for my entire family.

Two years later I have progressed professionally and my family have become very much a part of the community in which we live."

Nardine Morish

Manager Organisational Development,
Territory and Municipal Services

"Having worked in the Commonwealth sector for 19 years I decided I was ready for a change and moved to the ACT Public Service. The decision to move out of my comfort zone has proved to be a good one and I'm thoroughly enjoying the challenges of my new role. I especially love the fact that the Department is so hands on, you can actually see the difference being made in the community by the work performed."

Jason Rose

Senior Events Officer
Chief Minister's Department

"I decided to make the move from the Commonwealth to the ACT Government because I had the opportunity to manage a wide range of projects that were of interest to me. I have had many opportunities to further my skill base in a fantastic working environment.

The best thing about working for the ACT Government is that there are so many opportunities to get involved, whether it be work related or socially."

Kim Wilson

Ranger
Parks, Conservation and Lands

"My colleague and I both have young daughters and we were able to negotiate a job share situation within the ACT Public Service. We both work two days a week as Rangers out of the Mitchell Depot.

The best thing about my job is the family-friendly working conditions and the fact that I work to protect the environment with a small but dynamic group who are passionate about what they do."
