About the Role
We are seeking talented and motivated individuals with a passion for achieving outcomes to join us.
This is an engaging and multifaceted job with opportunities to work with a broad range of stakeholders and get involved with projects that shape decisions in government.

- provide guidance and advice to the whole sector on balancing information privacy with responsible information sharing in government,
- support consultation with government, Aboriginal Community Controlled Organisations and researchers,
