The position also involves working with school systems and databases including Microsoft Outlook, Word, Excel, Sentral, and Google Workspace while ensuring sensitive information is managed confidentially and in accordance with legislative requirements.

We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where people with diverse thoughts, lived experience, and perspectives can thrive and contribute their unique talents to the ACTPS and ACT community. We encourage Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, people with disability, people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds, veterans, younger and older workers, and people with diverse genders, sexes and sexualities to apply.
