Details: Do you enjoy helping senior colleagues achieve their objectives? Are you looking for opportunities to demonstrate your organisational skills?

If so, the ACT Civil and Administrative Tribunal (ACAT) is looking for you!

The ACAT is a fast-paced, dynamic, and unique work setting, delivering high quality services to tribunal users. Our registry teams provide a high level of support and assistance to tribunal members, and enable quick, simple, and inexpensive access to justice through effective administrative services.

The ACAT is currently recruiting for a Senior Executive Assistant (EA) - a rare opportunity to work at the heart of a tribunal that shapes outcomes for the community.

This is not a typical Executive Assistant (EA) role. Working in a tribunal means:

  • Supporting decision-makers who deliver justice across diverse areas of law
  • Navigating complex, sensitive matters with discretion and precision
  • Dealing with a diverse range of tasks that are vital to the day-to-day operations of the tribunal.

You will work in a team made up of proactive and resilient people who are passionate about supporting our members and the wider tribunal. This position is for people seeking a career in the administration of justice and who have the desire to develop and continuously improve. To be successful in this role you will be obsessive about getting things right, enjoy working with senior colleagues and be highly organised.

If you're ready to take your EA career to a new level — one that’s meaningful, challenging, and deeply rewarding — we’d love to hear from you.

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.

Notes: This is a temporary position available immediately until 24 April 2026. This position is available to ACT Government officers and employees only.

A Merit Pool will be established from this selection process and will be used to fill vacancies over the next six months. Selection may be based on application and referee reports only.

How to apply: Please supply:

  • A curriculum vitae
  • Details of two referees (one of which must be your current supervisor/manager)
  • A written pitch (of no more than one page) which explains why you are the best person for the job and highlights your skills and relevant experience.

Applications should be submitted via the Apply Now button below.
