Details: Did you know that FOI has two meanings? Firstly, there is Freedom of Information, which is a pillar of representative democracy through government transparency. However, those three letters also mean Fascinating, Out-of-the-box and Important. Just ask someone who works in FOI, and they will confirm it is true. If this ignites a spark for you, please read on.

Applications are sought from skilled and motivated candidates for a temporary position within the Information Access team to work on Freedom of Information and Open Access Information Scheme matters. This is challenging and interesting work that involves processing requests for access to government information in accordance with legislation.

The ideal candidate will have sound judgment, very strong communication and interpersonal skills, excellent organisational skills, superior attention to detail, and demonstrate care, diligence and timeliness in the performance of assigned tasks.

At times, the occupant will encounter information that may be confronting, as it relates to neglect, abuse, or violence, particularly towards children.

The position does not supervise staff; however, it performs a senior role in the team.

Notes: This is a temporary position available immediately until 9 July 2027 with the possibility of permanency.

An order of merit will be established from this selection process which may be used to fill vacancies over the next 12 months.

How to Apply: Applicants must provide their curriculum vitae, names and contact details for two referees and a pitch of up to two pages addressing the capabilities set out in the 'What You Require' section of the Position Description.

Applications should be submitted via the Apply Now button below.

Note: Under the ACTPS employment framework you may be placed in another role where required for the efficient administration of the service.

Where an offer of employment is for a fixed-term period, any related temporary contracts within the Territory will be issued in compliance with the requirements and applicable exceptions outlined in the Fair Work Act.

The ACT public service is committed to closing the gap, underpinned by the belief that when Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people have a genuine say in the design and delivery of policies, programs and services that affect them, better life outcomes are achieved.
